1. A computer-implemented method for regulating the receipt of data transmitted from a messaging device, comprising:
- initializing a security application that includes a blocking application;
automatically configuring user settings for the blocking application, the automatically configured user settings being based at least in part on a statistical report indicating one or more settings of a plurality of users, wherein the automatically configured user settings include any combination of keyword, time, and location settings, the keyword, time, and location settings being based on settings of a majority of the plurality of users from the statistical report;
detecting incoming data transmitted from the messaging device, the incoming data comprising advertisement data, wherein the messaging device is a short-range broadcasting device; and
blocking the incoming data from being displayed on the messaging device, the incoming data being blocked based on at least the automatically configured user settings for the blocking application.
