Parental Controls And Protecting Children- Top 3 Filtering Programs
By Richard Seng
Are your children spending to much time on the computer. Is it impossible to get them to stop playing games? Do you have the time to sit there and supervise your children? Would it be nice for your children to just get up and leave the computer after an hour? You may want to consider using an internet filter program on your home computers if you answer yes to any of these questions.
The internet is full of enormous resources and not all this information on the web is what you want your children viewing. Your kids may be subject to inappropriate web sites or violent video games. Parental filtering can help you monitor what is viewed on your computer.
What can parental control filters do?
1. Filter Web Surfing
The majority of the internet filter programs filter web site usage and block admission to websites that match up to about 50 different specific categories. The filters use a database that is either loaded on the computer or a database that is online to label web sites. Some filters will actually examine the content on each page. You can have the choice of tracking violations warnings that popup on the screen without blocking the website or merely displaying a warning popup window advising not to go further.
It is best to use a that will allow you to have the decision of overriding the warning notice to allow access to the site the child is attempting to access. Sometimes the may be a bit too aggressive and block a site that is appropriate. That is fine, go ahead and unblock it.
Along these same lines, remote management can be very useful. Many of the internet filter programs may inform you by phone, e-mail, or text message when these particular events happen and you can make changes from a remote location or just be aware of what is going on when you are not home. Great idea I must add.
2. Time Management
Filtering will allow you to limit the amount of time your children spend on the computer. You can set the time allowance
