Grass Roots Adoption Shows World-Wide Demand for a Squeaky Clean Web

    SALT LAKE CITY, March 28 /PRNewswire/ -- New technology now does what
 Congress and all of its attempts at legislation has failed to do -- block
 access to adult content without creating government-mandated censorship.
     The technology, dubbed ScrubIT (www.scrubit.com), by its developers, is
 a free, effective and user-friendly technology now available to help
 families, schools and businesses to block unwanted Internet content, said
 Anthony Webb, president of ScrubIT.
     The simple one-click approach to virtually porn-proofing a computer was
 first spread on blogs only a few weeks ago. Since then, ScrubIT's ease of
 use and comprehensive effectiveness has won users throughout the U.S.,
 Europe and Asia Pacific, including businesses and churches.
     "We developed ScrubIT because we know families, churches, and
 businesses are tired of the plague of pornographic and malicious websites,"
 Webb said. "We're excited for the possibilities this technology has to
 protect children from the dangers of pornography on the internet. This has
 been quickly embraced because of the free cost and its availability."
     For businesses and other organizations, ScrubIT is now testing a more
 advanced version of the DNS server that will allow IT managers to select
 specific additional sites that they choose to block. That may include sites
 that employees use for non-work purposes such as entertainment, shopping,
 gambling, or sites that promote hate.
     "This is not a software solution, it works by routing all Internet
 traffic to a home or business router through a designated DNS server," said
 company Vice President Jerome Bennett.
     With a click of a button, all websites get routed through the special
 ScrubIT DNS server. No software or firewall is needed to use the service.
     ScrubIT was developed on the premise that everyone should have access
 to all the good the web has to offer without having to worry about
 stumbling across those things that many people find objectionable. While
 the web has been become the No. 1 outside resource for almost everyone in
 the world, it has also become the marketing method of choice for
 pornographers and pedophiles. By "scrubbing" the internet squeaky-clean
 with ScrubIT, you will not have to worry about your family or employees
 ever being confronted with this type of material. Developers plan to
 provide basic service at no cost, then possibly offer a paid plan later
 that would include the ability to customize your internet surfing
 experience by specifying specific sites you don't want your family or
 employees to visit.
     In addition to pornographic sites, there are a host of other sites that
 are notorious time-wasters. Can you imagine being able to put a block on
 certain sites? The cable TV people have been doing it for years. This is an
 idea that has finally come of age on the internet."
