Parental control software is a kind of software package for your home computer that monitors computer use, filters the Internet content, thereby allowing parents to ensure a safe online experience for their family members. When picking out a parental control software tool for your family, pay attention to the features described below. The first thing is that the software should be user-friendly and easy to install and set up. Second, the software should be password protected and difficult for knowledgeable children and teens to turn it off. It should filter or block anything that parents find improper for a kid. Some software programs offer profanity masking - even in emails and instant messages - a proxy guard to keep your kid from using a proxy site to avoid the parental controls, and social networking controls to block or control your kid's behavior on the most visited websites, including Facebook and MySpace. There are also parental controls that offer chat control. This feature is great for filtering inappropriate words and keeping detailed reports of live conversations so that you know who your child is talking with and what they are talking about when you are not monitoring. Other features that parents may find valuable include time restricting that allows you to set a schedule for your child's Web use to certain times of the day and reporting features that will give you a detailed rundown of all of the Web activities on your PC. Some of the parental controls also have pre-set profiles grounded on age specially designed to make a user-friendly set-up for computer-illiterate parents who want to protect their children from some of the dangers associated with using the Web. Some software programs allow parents to use the tool on a network containing up to three home computers. This feature is especially great, if you have several computers at home or if your kid has their own portable PC. Although the programs are similar and are aimed to allow parents to control computer usage and filter the Internet content, they are different in features that may make one or another more suitable for your family or situation. For instance, some software tools really work well with social networking sites while some do not, so if your kid has a profile on any of these websites, you will want to opt for a software program that has those features. Each software program has something different to offer, so take the time to read each review carefully to decide which software program is suitable for you.
