My employer uses a Symantec product, and it is indeed triggered by words, among other things (it also has blacklisted urls, IPs and servers as far as I can tell). For example, there are several threads here that I can read down a ways, but then it is cut off with a message telling me that the contents of the page have exceeded the allowable score for language (it apparently assigns a numerical value to each questionable word...have enough of them on one web page, and *bingo*! You're done)
It is even slightly forgiving. A single instance of the word "fuck" is replaced by ---- on my monitor. Too many ----'s on the page, though, and I get the Symantec banner and the "Naughty Naughty" message.
