Utilities for parental control over children visited sites

We never thought that raising a child would be fraught with dangers, tayaschimisya on the Internet. Before it was simple: got an F - the father of sullen, as storm clouds, struck the girl in the yard - my mother lectured about the high morals. Life situations where the child is able nashkodit, many, but here, where I shall not undertake, added one more problem - kids climbed into the Internet. And there awaits them many dangers, which they themselves probably do not even know.

Parental control programs are designed primarily to create restrictions child, they are designed to ensure his safety, to protect from what, perhaps it is too early to know and see. One of the main objectives of applications - to create a filter web-sites. It is very simple: on one page you can go into the other - can not. How is such control? Usually offered two options for restrictions.

The application works with a database, which contains sites for adults. It is desirable that the list is regularly updated through the Internet, or the emergence of new resources would quickly render protection irrelevant. Administrator or, in this case, parents can increase the black list of sites at its discretion.

It is often applied more rigorous method of control - creating a white list. Children may visit only those web-sites, which he was allowed to parents. Less of this control is excessive rigor, one might even say, in the cruelty. Let her daughter's computer, and a site with descriptions of the technical characteristics of the dolls are not included in the white list. Girl in tears. Playmates has long boasted innovations puppet world, and the child is not even aware of what peers are in general conversation, the Internet is not something normal. But do not automatically update the lists, the relevance of time almost lost.

Another way of parental control is to filter sites by their content. You specify a set of keywords, and if any of their list is found on the web-page, it will not open. Parents may have to set aside fear and shame, self-inscribing mat, vulgarity, criminality and other things, prohibited for a child.

Ensuring the safety of the child at the computer is not only to restrict access to web-sites. There is another, if I may say so, a group of risk - this is instant messaging program. Child is naive, he may inadvertently tell a stranger your personal information. Attackers are cunning, they pretend to be peers, casually ask tricky questions. This leads to a second danger - the interlocutors of the child can teach him, at best, a little dirty tricks, and examples of serious trouble even better not to remember. Some parental control program capable of producing an analysis of information sent from your computer. If it met certain keywords, for example, address, school or phone, it is blocking send a message.

In your family, one child or several children, have a computer connected to the internet. How to protect the younger generation from the negative effects of host on the Net? The first thing that immediately suggests itself - the computer should not stand in the infant room. It is best if it is in the room where someone parents can constantly keep track of what the child. Otherwise, it is prohibited in the room, and you even might not guess that a child downloaded several movies with erotic content, and in the local chat room told him how to do his own firecrackers.

However trite it may sound, but still decides to education. The child must show online, interested in useful, from your point of view, sites, explain what you can do and what not. We can not agree to meetings with strangers, can not communicate personal data, you can not independently make purchases in online stores. Well, instead of moralizing son "do not look at naked women, appropriate use of special software, which shut down his access to adult resources. On such applications and will be discussed further.
