Software tools that scan for porn scan readable documents with the objective of testing for unsuitable phrases and words. This involves seeing if found keywords exist in a big database of words & phrases that need to be found if present. Various types include adult based content regarding sexual behaviour or other adult issues; inappropriate language such as racism related items, writing discussing violence, hate or other offensive material; patterns showing improper use; all can be detected and then given as the results in the results view. Any suspicious files are able to be opened for more review in thumbnail mode, so that a decision is made about the ideal way of dealing with each item as needed.

Cleanup of your computer's multimedia files can be primarily just to clean out pornographic material but generally the user will be trying to look for alternative files too, typically audio types, website history, intentionally hidden files, files with incorrect extensions, and any others of interest to the operator. Also since a scan is scheduled for files containing porn, it's worthwhile doing any required tests on the remaining types while testing is run.

Purging an infected system with many sex related document files may be assisted with the help of one of the many custom designed hard disk cleaning products which are now recently downloadable from the web. Most of these porn detector applications are set up to remove porn from folders on hard drives to dramatically improve speed. Unwanted video detector software products are meant to quickly remove history and also delete the unwanted offensive material kept in your computer automatically. Most of these products are created to encapsulate image detection, movie file scans, hard drive cleanup plus much more.
