Parental control software is a type of software package purpose-built for home computers which controls computer usage, filters the Internet content, thereby allowing parents to ensure a safe overall online experience for their family members. When you decide to use a parental control software tool for your family, there are important features you should search for. First and foremost, the package should be easy to install and use. Secondly, the software should be password protected and not easily turned off by Internet savvy kids and teens. It should filter or block anything that a parent considers improper for a kid. Some programs include profanity masking - even in emails and instant messages - a proxy monitor to keep your kid from using a proxy website to avoid the parental controls, and social networking control programs to block or control your kid's conduct on popular sites, including Facebook and MySpace. There are also software tools that provide chat control. This feature is great for filtering improper words and keeping detailed reports of live conversations so that you know who your kid is talking with and what they are discussing when you are unable to control. Other features which parents may consider valuable include time limiting that allows you to set a schedule for your child's Internet usage to certain times of the day and reporting features which will give you a detailed rundown of all of the Internet activity on your PC. Some of the programs also have pre-set profiles based on age groups specially designed to make a user-friendly set-up for computer-illiterate parents who want to shield their kids from some of the dangers arising out of browsing the Web. Some software tools allow parents to use the software on a network containing up to 3 home computers. This feature is especially great, if you have several computers at home or if your kid has their own laptop. Even though the software tools have much in common and are aimed to allow parents to control computer use and filter the Internet content, they have some differences in features that may make one or another more appropriate for your family or situation. For instance, some software packages really work well with social networking sites while some do not, so if your child has a profile on any of these websites, you will want to pick out a parental control that has those features. Each software program has something different to offer, so take the time to read each review carefully to find out which program satisfies your needs best. |
