Frequently Asked Questions About BajEye Client Software:
What is the BajEye (BE) Activity Manager Configuration Console?
ANSWER:
The console will become available to you after you have set your password for the first time.
The console contains the various blocking, filtering and notification services available to you in the software.
You must activate and configure these options to meet your needs. Detailed instructions on how to use and configure
these options are available in the BE Users Manual. The manual is available to you in your console under the General
tab by selecting the Users Manual button located near the bottom right of the image. The BajEye Users manual is also available on the Internet at http://www.bajai.comdownloads/manual/bajeye.htm
I installed BajEye and now I can’t get to the Internet, why?
ANSWER:
Check that you have set your proxy settings so the machine can find the gateway. Have you added a file type blocking option that stops the machine from accessing the Internet? Close all Internet applications and try again.
I installed BajEye and Set a password but it is not filtering out the content I want to block.
ANSWER:
Your BajEye software is set to NO blocking when you do a fresh installation. To block content you must select your configuration by using the console. Then exit the console and open a new browser window. Any browser windows open previous to a change or activation of settings will not be filtered as they have not been instructed by the software to do so.
I configured the console to block according to my preferences; I can still get to some unwanted websites.
ANSWER:
Ensure that you have:
- cleared our cache and history from previous tests that you performed?
- activated the Manage Web box on the WWW tab
- activated BE on the General tab before exiting
- closed all previous browser windows after exiting the console
If you have done all of these operations and you are still having problems with a site please feel free to submit a URL to review@bajai.com OR add it to your black list.
What is happening during the list update that my machine got slow?
ANSWER:
If your machine is slow it may be because you have not updated for some time or that your machine does not meet the minimum system requirements. If your machine just meets the minimum system requirements you have just enough memory and resources to perform this operation. Try updating when you do not have users at the machine and be patient.
My list has become corrupt what do I do now?
ANSWER:
As a last resort for list repair try the following procedure to replace your list: Using a command prompt window use the – renew option. (by typing listsub –renew) If this does not work and you are a licensed user, please fill out a request for support found at this URL www.bajai.com/support/ and our support team will contact you shortly.
I went to a site that should not be blocked, why am I getting a blocked message?
ANSWER:
Is the site you are being blocked from actually the site you requested? It is not uncommon for links to be redirected.
Possibly you have been redirected to another site that is being blocked. Also, blocking may also be due to pornographic advertising on the site you are trying to access. Hitting refresh may solve this problem. It is also possible that the site is misclassified; please contact review@bajai.com if you believe this is the case.
I am trying to uninstall a trial version of BajEye 5.X and I cannot, why?
ANSWER:
You MUST run the BajEye console at least once to set an administrative password so you can uninstall the program.
You need to turn the console off and use the Uninstall option in the Start menu. Finally, if you do NOT have the administrator password you can NOT uninstall BE, this is a security feature.
IMPORTANT: ONLY the ADMINISTRATOR password will be recognized during uninstall. During uninstall the BajEye software must be removed with the Uninstall tool provided to you with your BajEye software. Failure to remove software properly (see page 4 of your users manual) will cause undesirable results. This is not a bug - your solution has been designed in this manner to specifically address the unauthorized removal of the software.
