Hi,

What is the  way to block Google images? Actually we are using Websense Web Filter V7.6. Through the Websense Catagory I have successfully Blocked all the Adult sites but unfortunately users are able to open adult Images through Google Images.

Thanks in Advance.

Safe Search is supposed to block things like pornography in search engines Websense supports.  For Google I believe it just forces Google's own safe search option, so you can test it yourself manually.

Hi,
To Enable Google safe search I need to enable Safe Search Preferences in client computers. Please correct me if was wrong. We have more than 2000 client computer in Our Organization. So it will be a huge task for us.
Can we done this type of Filtering through Websense.

No, you enable it in Websense Triton, in the settings.

Yeah you misunderstood me -- I was just trying to explain how the Websense SafeSearch restrictions worked.  As Jacob said it's a setting you enable on Websense, not the individual computers.

It's in the Triton Settings tab... I forget which one exactly but it's at the bottom of one of the screens and is simply a check box.  It lists all supported search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc) as well.
