Parental Controls

Parental Controls allow a parent to see what their children view and do on the internet. Parents are given
complete control over the internet with these software tools.  You can use either internet filters or a keystroke monitor. In a previous post I talk about internet filters. Keystroke monitors check and record anything typed during internet sessions and can be reviewed at later dates. Some tools take screen pictures randomly during internet use and also can be reviewed later.

Parental control software also includes porn detection/removal software. This will erase anything already on hard disks that is not suitable for children. There are methods used to determine what is unsuitable. It can detect differences in family photos, movies, etc. and unsuitable materials. Usually parental controls have password protection to prevent visitation to certain sites but also could be over-ridden by the parent if deemed an appropriate site for research or religious reasons.
