Let me tell you how parental control feature can prevent online children. Some security suites are available like McAfee Total Protection having parental control features but if you want complete protection package, then family protection software is the best option.

McAfee has developed family protection software having following characteristics:

Age-group settings different settings are available for different age groups
Music and online games filtration parents can control what type of content is accessible to children.

Filtering types include:

• Songs with explicit lyrics
• Online games
• Videos on YouTube

Blocking of Encrypted websites children are not allowed to access encrypted sites so that they cannot try to break them

Program or application blocking parents can block any programs that they don’t want their children to use e.g. file sharing application that can share malwares on PC

Instant messaging monitoring all conversation of children through instant messaging can be handled to detect any suspicious activity and offensive conversation with unknowns

Time period proper time lines in the form of day or time can be settled for children when they can access internet and can manage duration when their children be online

Blocking of emails parents can pre check email accounts from which their children can receive emails other unknown accounts can be blocked

Instant email alerts alert email can be send to parents if children try to access to any blocking material

Social networking filtering maintains all profile information that has been pre checked by parents like name, school, phone, home address and posts that may contain private information Installation for this suite is very easy and you can download it from www.mcafee.com and follow installation instructions step by step.

Remember, do not share your administrator password with children and make separate account for each child.

Furthermore McAfee Site Advisor tool can help family to safely do shopping and surf internet with the help of three color codes: red, green and yellow.  Freely available tool www.siteadvisor.com can help to determine websites which are safe to visit and which are not safe. Green color represents verified site, yellow represent go ahead with caution and red shows that this site contains malicious content that can harm your system.

Amazing! Now moms do not need to keep eye constantly on their children while they are using internet.

In this way they can still visit their favorite sites and can only be monitored for fixed time. Also they don’t mind of monitoring as it is Stranger-Danger phobia of mom. So better to use parental control tools to assure that you children are making appropriate use of internet.  Happy surfing!
