Can I hide the smiley faces?

How does KS+ block web sites?
KS+ blocks sites by storing a large, predefined list of words that appear within the majority of inappropriate adult sites. As you child encounters a new web page the KS+ browser previews the contents of that page before it is shown within the browser. If any of the 'bad' words are in the page then the site is blocked.
Can I add my own 'bad' words to the blocking list?

How are pop-ups handled?
When you encounter a pop-up window, KSPlus will block it. You will see a prompt near the top of the screen asking if you want to allow pop-ups from the site you are on. You can always allow or temorarily allow pop-ups from a site.
If you ever change your mind after you selected 'Always Allow' then you can use:
