How to protect children from dangers on the Internet.
March 7, 2008
I’m sure, that most of us are very concerned about risks and even serious dangers to our children when they use the Internet. I mean all these sites and pages dedicated an inappropriate content, images and videos our children can happen to meet but not only. 79% of American children now play computer or video games on a regular basis and most of the games on the market are appropriate for these young players.
Actually there are some ways to protect children from dangers on the Internet. First of all your Internet Explorer has features allowing you to block access to websites that voluntarily identify themselves as adult-oriented, you can separate Internet Content Advisor settings for different users, also you can configure Internet Explorer to exclude some adult-oriented web sites by following these steps:
1. Access the “Tools” menu.
2. Select “Internet Options.”
3. Select the “Content” tab.
4. Select “Content Advisor.”
5. Click “Enable.”
6. Use the “Ratings” options to decide what sort of content you want to allow this computer to see.
Unfortunately Windows XP Home does not support limited accounts and for all that the best solution is to purchase such powerful software as WebWatcher which let you not only keeping children out of danger that reaches through the computer but to monitor all your children’s internet activities. To control when children are allowed to log on to the computer, to set specific time limits your children can use the computer, the types of games that they can play and whom they play with, the websites that they can visit, and the programs that they can run. Check out Parental Control Guide, this is really perfect chance to be perfectly at home.

For some reason, that website doesn’t have our software on it - so I wanted to point us out and toss us on everyone’s radar. We make PC Pandora software. It is priced very low (usually about $40 - ONE TIME) and does all the monitoring (actual snapshots and screen captures), logging and recording the others do - but has a better interface, a one-time price, live chat support - and we are a small company so you know if you have a problem you won’t get lost in the corporate BS. Check us out online, we just released version 5.0. Knowledge is power. There is no excuse to not have the power when it comes to your child’s Internet activity.
