Comparing Online Predators With Spammers

The first thing you have to do is make sure that you have a clear and clean Interceptor. If your ISP or Internet Service Provider does not provide you with one, then you can get one on the market from computer hardware stores. Once you have one, you will want to set up the rules so that you are the one who has the choice to decide who uses your Interceptor and when.
