Check out some of the great features that make Snitch "Simply the best tool in its class..."
 Home User Features
Snitch for Home users is packed with great features that help automate the cleaning of your computer:

  
Feature
Feature Description
Wide range of file types detected Snitch uses a sophisticated package of specialized search algorithms to scan your computer for inappropriate files. These algorithms are optimized to detect the majority of files that cause concern. File types detected include images (various types), movies (various types), audio files(various types), suspicious internet activity, internet cookies, as well as renamed files, files with obscene or suspicious filenames. With User-Defined searches, Snitch can be customized to detect specific types of files as well.
Second Generation
SkinScan™ Technology		 Snitch can detect images containing nudity with its proprietary image processing technology, and then sort the results by 'suspiciousness'. This allows easy location of pornography and other adult material. Recovered files can easily be deleted from the system.
Browse movie and image thumbnails Quickly determine suitability of detected images and movies by browsing through them using pages of small images or 'thumbnails'. Questionable images can be enlarged to full screen for further inspection.
User Interface Enhancements The Snitch user interface has been enhanced for easier operation, with extra features including Save / Load result sets, abiltity to pause a scan to review results and then resume scanning, additional file copy / delete functions, right-click menus, etc.
Internet history scanning Snitch uses a range of techniques to detect inappropriate internet usage. Snitch can recover internet history from common browsers, and check for suspicious activities, and visitation of inappropriate internet sites. Snitch can scan internet history for known suspicious keywords, and prioritise the results accordingly. Results can be sorted by filename obscenity, SkinScan™ rating, date, alphabetically, size etc. depending on result type.
Keyword Analysis Snitch incorporates a vastly expanded database of keywords that can be used to enhance search results. Filenames can be checked for the presence of keywords, text based files and documents can be scanned for contained keywords, and the results can be used to boost the suspiciousness rating of files.
Interactive Deletion of offending articles Deletion of offending files and internet results could not be easier. Results can be added, within the Snitch interface, to a deletion list. At the completion of result viewing, the selected items are permanently deleted with the touch of a single button.
'Safe Files' and 'Safe Folders' The user is now able to add files to a 'safe file' list which flags them as safe and prevents them from appearing in results in future scans. This is useful in speeding up scanning and saves the user from reviewing of files that are known to be OK. The user is also able to exclude specified folders from future scans if they are known to be clean.
Simple one-button operation Snitch is simple to operate for users who are unfamiliar with computers. With the press of a button, Snitch will automatically scan the target computer using the most common settings, and return results without user intervention.
Fully configurable scan parameters Most of the algorithms that Snitch employs can be configured by the user for optimum results. Advanced users can set up their own behavioral template that Snitch will adhere to when scanning the target computer.
Password Protect Snitch The user can set Snitch to require a password before use, to prevent unauthorized access by third parties.
