What are your children doing on the Internet?

Being responsible and loving parents you might be already aware of existing tools and software for parental control. In case you are concerned with this issue for the first time, this article will give more of an idea about main threats your kids may face on the Internet and how to cope with them.

The number of Internet users is rapidly growing year after year. Pre-school and teen audiences are among them. A lot of parents are curious as what their children are doing on the Internet, what websites they visit and who they are communicating with via online messengers and social networks. Needless to say, these worries are absolutely justified.

TOP-10 website categories with unwanted content which children visit most of all (diagram 1*)

The stats do not necessarily mean children spend all of their time on these websites. It does not mean the website visits have been initiated by the kids as well. There may be cases when the user surfs normal web pages, but suddenly gets redirected to websites with unwanted content or advertisment pages.

Nevertheless, some kids visit such pages on purpose due to natural high interest in forbidden subjects. The main problem is the information they get under no parents control may significantly harm young children mentality.

Main threats

Kids spend a lot of time in social networks, and there is a big risk they meet a scammer trying to obtain parents bank card requisites or make them send an sms to a paid number or something else. It is not a rare case when children become subject to psychological attacks from school mates via social networks.

Moreover, social networks exclude live communication and non verbal contacts with their fellows (intonation, gestures etc). Children and teenagers are spending too much time on Facebook may have troubles communicating with their mates in real life and will certainly have less chances of successful adaptation to new school groups or new work teams in the future.

Websites for adults and pirate software. Websites of this category may, and most likely, contain malicious software or scripts that may lead to loss of important PC data or bank and payment requisites being stolen.

online games could harm children mentality as well, but what is more likely it that it will harm the parents wallet. Developers of such games design the software the way it can not be completed untill you pay for it. The main goal of these games is to excite a young player and acquire his/her parents money by any means.

Windows parental control (standard tools)

There is plenty of software on the market, however, one can take advantage of built-in standard Windows parental controls tools

This feature lets you limit computer usage by your kids, as follows:

• - Setup days of week when children are allowed to use computer.
• - Define software and games which can be used by children.

You can also set up additional Windows family security options to control and filter websites, view reports on visited online resources.

*In accordance with "AVK Lab" 2014

A list of ten programs that will help control a child, track his calls, and also restrict access to other applications was compiled by Ekaterina Cheban, Product Marketing Manager for KidLogger.net , StaffCounter.net .

1. SafeKiddo

The program offers different types of content for children to view depending on their age. You can set a ban on the Internet, applications and games for a certain time. In addition, you control the app stores and have the right to allow or deny the use of an installed application or game. Google and YouTube have a "safe search" feature. If you enable it, your child will only have access to relevant web pages and videos. SafeKiddo works on any WiFi network - mobile, home or public. The entire monitoring process is shown to you in the form of reports on search activity and a detailed log of visited sites. One problem - the program does not have a Russian interface, you have to deal with English.

2. SkyDNS

The program has a site filter from more than 50 categories. By categorizing sites into these categories, you can limit your child's access to sites that are inappropriate for their age or for other reasons. At your disposal there are also statistics of visited sites, restriction of displaying banners and advertisements (shocking or pornographic content). A good feature of SkyDNS is blocking sites that steal money and passwords. The child will see a warning message and access to the site will be blocked. Only parents have access to the filter settings and work schedule (for example, during the day, while parents are at work, children's settings are automatically turned on, and in the evening - parental ones). There is a Russian interface.

3. MSpy

In the program for smartphones, you can see incoming and outgoing calls, their subscribers and duration. All SMS, emails and messages in instant messengers, their full text and subscribers are also at your disposal. Phone and internet usage report, search history, contacts and calendar changes, new photos and videos - all this will be visible in your MSpy account. In addition, only you allow or block the installation of games, programs and applications, and in case of theft of the phone, you can remotely block access to personal data. A very handy feature for parents is GPS tracking of your child's location. This program also does not support Russian in the interface and on the official website.

4. KidLogger

Free parental time control for android. After installation, you set the start and end times of the three periods of the day. During “school” and “evening” hours, only educational applications are allowed (include in this list what you allow to use without restrictions). This way you can encourage children to work with useful programs. At "night time", after "clear off", you can not use the phone. During the rest of the day, all applications are available, except for "unwanted", but their use is limited in time. If you do not want to block access to games, do not add them to any of the lists. Then they will be subject to the same time frame as everything else. KidLogger blocks "unwanted" applications, determines the location of the child, keeps a record of visited sites and running programs, and most importantly, informs about how much time the child spent on a particular site or application and limits the time for games. Reports are available remotely via the Internet, and the program on the child's phone is protected from deletion. For a completely hidden app that the phone user doesn't know about, there is a premium version. The Russian interface of the program, the official website in Russian with all the details of installation and configuration, and operational Russian technical support are available.

5. KidShell

This program is somewhat different from the previous ones. It is a "sandbox" for children on your mobile device - a specially designated area for the safe use of programs. The child's account on your phone is set to run only allowed apps. Without configured access, the child will not be able to call, write SMS, buy or run the application. You can also block the transition to advertising links, accidental transitions to the app store, access to the Internet. In addition, you can always determine how much time a child can spend with your phone. Russian-language interface is available.

6.

The program resembles KidShell. This is also a "sandbox" on a smartphone. The main screen in the child account consists of four groups of applications: "Games", "Development", "Education" and "Other applications". These groups are populated in parental mode with applications that suit you. From the protective options there is a blocking of calls and SMS, as well as access to settings so that the child cannot change them. Of the features of the PlayPad for devices owned by children, limiting the time for using the phone per day (paid version), the use of certain applications and the installation of programs is very useful. In the paid version, you can set the exact time frame for blocking the smartphone (for example, during lessons), track the location of the child, set protection against accidental clicks. The program is from Russian developers, there is a Russian-language interface.

7. KinderGate

The program has a URL filter that works on the basis of a huge universal database of Internet addresses and local sources (for example, the list of banned addresses of the Ministry of Justice). Sites are blocked not only by addresses, but also if the text contains words from the dictionary of forbidden words. The safety of the child on the Internet is also ensured by limiting social networks, blocking dating sites, blocking the ability to send files in instant messengers (virus protection) and detailed reports on which sites your child visits. The interface and website are available in Russian.

8. Kids Place

Another "sandbox": you yourself determine which applications can be accessed by them. SMS, calls, app purchases and other paid activities can be blocked. The Back, Home, Call and Search buttons are also blocked so that the child cannot call or leave Kids Place. There is a determinant of incoming calls, blocking the launch of the Marketplace, as well as blocking the phone when overloaded. The Russian version, unfortunately, was not found.

9. Norton Family

And again functions similar to those described above. There is control of the Internet and social networks (a log of visited sites, blocking unwanted resources, control of search queries, the frequency of using social networks and the data that children indicate in them). The publication of personal data from the child's device is blocked, a request for access to a blocked site is required, a computer usage schedule is configured, and time is limited. Parents are informed about what videos the child watches, what applications he uses. The location and SMS tracking features work for Canada, the UK, and the US. All settings can be controlled remotely, as well as receiving information about the actions of the child. The site can also be read in Russian, which is convenient.

10. Kaspersky

Parental control from this manufacturer is supplied only as part of other products, for example, Kaspersky Total Security 2016. The control options are quite wide: you can limit the time you spend on the Internet, create a list of unwanted sites (by the entire site name, or by part of it, by topic - " erotica", "cruelty", etc.). You can tighten control with the help of a "white list" of sites. In this case, the child will be able to access only those sites that are on the list of allowed. You can set up a weekly schedule for using the gadget, as well as a daily limit for the computer in general and the Internet in particular. It is also possible to manage the child's contacts in social networks, i.e. block those who, in your opinion, are an unwanted interlocutor. The program of the Russian developer, respectively, Russian is one of the languages ​​of the interface and on the site.

Our children comprehend computer technologies from infancy, at 6 months they are already trying to figure out the interface of a tablet computer, a year they create shortcuts on the desktop, delete unnecessary ones, and try to go online, every year the child’s development grows exponentially, the craving for knowledge and not it can always bring positive results. For example, for an adult, the picture on the banner may seem simply idiotic or defiant, annoying. For a child, the same picture can cause fear, fear, apathy towards the outside world, and even form psychological problems that will grow like a “snowball” in the receptive psyche of the child, we will not continue. I hope our children get away with it.

Our task as parents is to protect our children from unnecessary information on the Internet.

There are several ways to solve the fundamental issue with the implementation of the issue of Parental Control.

1. mobile operators have specialized tariff plans with an active firewall and a proxy server that collects sites and portals bred for children.
2. In the operating system Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, in all versions, it is possible to enable the "Parental Control" function, but as a rule this mode solves the problem in part.

Parental control Windows Vista, Winows7.

For children, a personal computer is a gateway to a rich and varied world of education, entertainment and communication. However, if left unattended, children can access inappropriate content on the Internet and games, run applications that are inappropriate for them, or simply spend too much time on the PC.

With the suite of parental controls in Windows Vista or Windows 7, parents can finally breathe a sigh of relief as they can more confidently control what their kids have access to on their PC. These features allow parents to control which computer games their children can play and which apps and websites they can use. In addition, you can specify the times when children are allowed to use the computer, and ensure that this restriction is strictly enforced even in the absence of parents. In this case, parents can be sure that their children are not playing on the computer instead of learning lessons.

Given the uniqueness of every child and every family, parental controls in Windows Vista or Windows 7 include the ability to customize usage profiles according to a child's age and interests. As children mature and their needs develop, usage profiles can be modified.

Parental control panel.

The main parental control settings are located on the panel of the same name, which is part of the User Accounts and Family Safety control panel. This panel allows you to configure parental control settings for your PC and individual applications, including restrictions on running games, browsing the Internet, and general use of the computer. From the Parental Controls panel, you can turn parental controls on and off, block or allow certain programs, games, and websites, and configure other settings that control how children use the computer. Third-party family safety programs and services can also be accessed from Windows Vista or Windows 7 Parental Controls. Parental controls are not available on computers that are included in a domain, such as in a corporate environment.

Activity reports.

In the Parental Controls panel, you can view reports about your children's computer usage. These reports, on the one hand, allow you to find out what children are listening to, watching or doing on the computer, and on the other hand, they help improve parental control settings by providing real data for analysis. If the parental control feature is enabled, the parental control icon is displayed on the taskbar.

Limiting the time of using the computer.

Windows Vista or Windows 7 allows parents to specify when their children can or can't use a computer. The screen displays a table in which the days of the week are broken down by hours. By default, it is proposed to allow children to work at the computer at any time of the day or night, seven days a week. To block any period of time, simply click on it with the left mouse button.

15 minutes and 1 minute before the end of the allowed period of use, the child receives a notification. If time runs out before the child finishes, Windows Vista or Windows 7 suspends the session and displays the logon screen. A suspended session remains active in the background, so the next time the child logs in, they can pick up where they left off last time - all data will be saved.

Restrictions on access to computer games.

Parents can choose which computer games their children will be allowed to play. For example, you can allow all games that are considered appropriate for a certain age according to one of the generally accepted ratings. (Windows Vista supports all major international ratings.) You can also be more selective, allowing or disallowing games by title or content. Similarly, it is convenient to make decisions about games that do not have a rating score.

Sometimes parents need to override their own restrictions or make exceptions to custom rules. For example, you can block some games that are usually allowed for children of this age, or, conversely, allow a game that, according to the rating

When using a computer, children can only run games that comply with the restrictions set by their parents.

Parents can access the parental control settings for games using the parental control panel or the button of the same name in the game explorer window (in this case, all games available to each computer user are displayed).

The "quick request" feature gives the child the opportunity to ask their parents for permission to immediately access a blocked application. Suppose a child has downloaded an application from the Internet that is required for homework. Parents can block the download of files, but even if the download is allowed, this application will not run if it is not on the list of allowed applications. The child can ask the parents to enter their administrator credentials in the error message box that appears and allow the application to be used without the child having to log out and wait for a parent to log in to perform the desired action.

Web browsing restrictions.

Windows Vista or Windows 7 includes a built-in Web Content Filter that inspects the content of various Web sites and provides parents with the information they need to make informed decisions when setting up Internet restrictions. The filter works not only with Microsoft Internet Explorer, but also with most other web browsers.

You can accept the standard level of restrictions offered by the Web Content Filter, or you can restrict access to specific Web sites or even individual pages within those Web sites based on the type of content they publish. For example, a teenager's parents may allow the teenager to visit sex education websites but block pornographic websites. You can also explicitly specify which websites children are allowed to visit by overriding the default restrictions. Parents can import and export lists of websites and use them to allow or block access to websites, as well as create and edit such lists and share them with other parents.

If a child tries to navigate to a Web site that contains content that has been blocked by their parents, a child will see a message stating that the Web site has been blocked by parental controls. In addition, the screen prompts you to check the correctness of the entered address or to talk to your parents if you absolutely need to view this particular website. A “quick request” feature (similar to the one described above in the section on restricting the use of applications) allows a child to ask their parents for immediate access to a blocked website without logging out. To unblock a website and add it to the list of allowed websites, parents simply enter their credentials in the dialog box that appears.

Parental control - main features.

Activity reports- Parents can receive and view detailed reports on how their children used the computer.

Application restrictions- Parents can block or allow access to any of the applications installed on the computer (with the exception of programs necessary for the operation of basic Windows functions).

Game Access Restrictions- Parents can allow and deny access to games based on their content, title or independent evaluation.

Parental Control Dashboard - Allows parents to centrally configure all parental control settings and receive activity reports.

Time limit- Parents can specify the days and times when children are allowed to use the computer.

Web browsing restrictions- Parents can set up restrictions on access to websites, individual web pages, downloads, and more.

3. At the level of “terminal equipment” (a router with a built-in firewall), you can configure it so that while the child is unattended at the computer, he has access to a limited number of sites and portals, while social networks should be excluded, since it is there that the child can without difficulty to find the most unnecessary information, videos, music and contacts with dubious personalities. Some parents simply take the network adapter away from the router with them to work.
4. It is possible at the level of user rights to restrict access to an open User (without a password), to restrict the rights to change system settings. In this case, parents can install a parental control program and customize it for their needs and the needs of their child.

free parental control software:

CyberMama™ free parental control

CyberMama™ is a program for parents that allows you to plan, control and limit the work of children on your home computer.

The logic of the program is very simple - the parent sets the rules for using the computer by the child, and the computer in the "Child" mode strictly follows these rules.

CyberMama™ has two modes of operation - one for the parent, the other for the child. The "Parent" mode has no restrictions on the use of the computer, the entrance to this mode is protected by a password.

On the contrary, in the "Child" mode, the use of the computer is possible only in accordance with the rules set by the parent. After turning on the computer, CyberMama™ will switch the computer to the “Child” mode, in which it will strictly follow the schedule and rules of its use that you set.
CyberMama™ allows you to:

• set a time limit for using a computer by a child (limit on the total daily use time, limit on the time of continuous use);
• determine the frequency and duration of breaks in computer use;
• determine the allowed time intervals for using the computer by the child;
• allow or deny the child access to the Internet;
• prohibit the use of certain programs (including computer games);
• allow the use of only certain programs and prohibit the use of other programs;
• Receive reports about your child's computer use;
• warn the child about the end of the allowed time at the computer.

The use of the CyberMama™ program on a home computer ensures its safe use by children and adolescents.

System requirements for a computer to install the CyberMama™ program:

• operating system Windows NT 4/2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista;
• processor Pentium II 300 MHz and higher;
• at least 10 MB of free hard disk space;
• 128 MB random access memory (RAM).

To activate the CyberMama™ program, use the registration key:
77777-3GEP8G-MNDQZG-B7C4HS-BBNMCG
Activation of the program is carried out in the menu "Help -> Registration"

you can download for free and without sms in

"Internet Censor" - free parental control

"Internet Censor" can also be used to improve the efficiency of activities in the adult population by prohibiting access to various entertainment sites and social networks. As practice shows, such a measure increases the efficiency of activities several times. If we are talking about an enterprise, then everything is organized differently there, through the company's server, where access to a number of sites is simply prohibited. But if you work at home, and sometimes like to sit on VKontakte or Odnoklassniki during working hours, then it’s just right to install such a program and give a parental password to someone who is not at home during working hours. This will greatly improve performance.

"Internet Censor" is extremely easy to manage and absolutely free. It is developed by the company "InternetDom". The database with unwanted sites is automatically downloaded from the developer's server once a day. You can also add your sites to the white and black lists. You can help grow the address database by periodically submitting site addresses to developers for review.

The "Internet Censor" system gets along well in tandem with most modern security systems. In the event of an attempt to circumvent protection, the system automatically sends a notification to the registration email address (it is assumed that this is the address of the parents) that the system is being hacked. Here is a partial list of operating system protection programs that Internet Censor works great with:

Parental control

  The Internet is an integral part of modern life, not only for the adult population, but also for their children (even more for the latter). The abundance of all kinds of sites, portals, chatting - everything is provided to the inexperienced public. Anyone can play, "chat" or simply "surf" the Internet.

But not any information on the Internet is useful both from the cognitive side and from the moral side. If adults can somehow adequately respond to various proposals that require any action from them, then children in this case are a weak link through which attackers achieve the desired result. In addition to everything else, a long stay at the computer adversely affects the health of the child. Therefore, it would be wise for parents to conduct explanatory conversations with their children so that the child can realize the harmfulness of certain actions.

  For control and insurance, it is prudent to use software tools specially created for these needs called "Parental Control". They allow you to enter a ban on visiting sites of dubious topics, set the time spent at the computer or on the Web, prohibit the inclusion of certain applications, provide the ability to view a report on the child's actions on a PC, on the Internet, etc. These parental controls include Crawler Parental Control, Spector Pro, and parental control software "NeoSpy"(By the way, Windows Vista already has a parental control module).

The ability to control the web-surfing of your children can be carried out not only in software, but also in hardware. For example, D-Link DIR-615 routers have a parental control function that allows you to provide a flexible system for controlling access to the Internet, filters requests to sites from the black list, and provides Internet access at a scheduled time.
When setting up control programs, keep in mind that prolonged work on a PC leads to visual impairment, the body weakens (not only posture is disturbed, but also the musculoskeletal system and muscular system), and the child's psyche suffers.
Since the sanitary and hygienic standards developed in 1997 are already morally obsolete, but have not yet been canceled, the following recommendations are proposed today:

• up to 3 years: it is not recommended to be at the computer;
• 3-6 years: up to 15 minutes (per day), up to 30 minutes (per week);
• 1-3 grade: up to 15 minutes (per day), up to 45 minutes (per week);
• 4-6 grade: up to 30 minutes (per day), up to 2 hours (per week);
• Grade 7-9: up to 45 minutes (per day), up to 2.5 hours (per week);
• Grade 10-11: up to 1 hour (per day), up to 7 hours (per week).

Please note that some parental control software restrictions can be bypassed if your account is not password protected. Since the "advanced youth" will remove all the established restrictions, and you will not even know about it. However, the NeoSpy program has protection against unauthorized removal attempts, and also hides securely in the system.

All of us as parents care deeply about our children. We want to know what the child does in his free time, with whom he spends it, and, of course, what exactly interests him on the Internet. As a result, parental control of both a computer and other devices with Internet access has long been invented. This function perfectly helps parents to control the child in his social networks and search engines, limit unwanted resources for viewing and monitor the downloaded material. Today we will tell you how to set parental controls on any of your devices or your child's device.

What this function allows you to do

By itself, parental control in Windows 10, 8, 7 and XP has basically only three functions:

• First, it allows limit the amount of time children spend on the computer. That is, it is possible to set the time when the PC should turn itself off and the time when it can be turned on. This is very useful if the computer belongs exclusively to the child. In addition, this is a much more effective way than turning it off on its own by the parent, because in this case the child will not be able to do anything.
• Second, you have opportunity to choose, what kind games and apps in general can be opened by the child and which are not. The computer will display information that this application is not available in this account, and will not allow it to be opened.
• Third, others programs also may be limited for a child. This will help you avoid problems when your child starts to climb dangerous and important computer programs, which most often leads to its breakdown.

But even this small list already justifies the effectiveness and usefulness that parental controls have in Windows 7, 8 and 10, so let's find out how to make it work for us.

Create an account for a child

In the future, we will analyze each item from the point of view of each of the OS versions in order to give the most complete information about installing control on a computer. The very first thing you must do on your own PC or on your child's PC is to create his own account.

It is not necessary to set a password for it, but it is important to set a password for the administrator, since it is possible to remove parental control from it.

"Seven"

To create a child account in Windows 7, we need to follow the following steps:

"Eight"

Parental control in Windows 8 is turned on a little differently, so we should cover this process in detail as well:

By the way, it was from a PC on Windows 8 that it became possible to receive important information to personal mail directly from Microsoft. If your administrator account has been set to email, you will receive an email about parental control options. Thus, it is possible to receive information about the sites opened from the children's account on the Internet, about the time that the PC worked. You can also set up lists of sites that the child cannot visit.

"Ten"

The main difference between parental control in Windows 10 is that in order to connect it, it is necessary to register an account with integration into Microsoft personal mail, and an Internet connection is also important. Otherwise, the control setting is not very different from the setting in Windows 8. Let's now describe how it is done:

Set up and manage

Depending on the version of your Windows OS, you have a different set of features that you can use to control your child's account. Let's see how the parental control setting differs for different versions.

"Seven"

In fact, the parental controls of Windows 7 and XP are not too different. As described above, you can set a time limit for your computer. Moreover, it is possible to choose not only the period in hours and minutes, but also whole days when the PC cannot be turned on under the child account. You will also be able to block specific applications, games and programs that will also be inaccessible to users under control. For other functions, you can download special parental control programs that are easy to find on the Internet.

"Eight"

All settings for the features that parental controls allow in Windows 8 are located in the " Family Safety" on the Control panels. There you just need to select the desired account and functions.

In addition to the already known limitation of PC time and the ban on opening specific installed applications, programs and games, you can configure lists of sites that the child is prohibited from visiting. And vice versa, you can make a list of only those sites that you can visit. By the way, it is possible to automatically restrict adult content if you rely on the opinion of people from Microsoft. You can also disable the installation of third-party programs.

"Ten"

In Windows 10, as in the G8, you need to go to the family safety management to open the list of accounts and select the desired child user. You can then set up parental controls by selecting or not selecting the following options:

Android devices

If all the previous tips were mainly related to the PC, then it's time to talk about portable devices, such as a tablet or smartphone. Many parents are wondering how to enable parental controls on Android devices, as they usually don't come with a lot of protection. First of all, it is worth understanding what such devices can do.

Main Features of Android

In fact, you can find at least a small parental control on an Android tablet only from version 4.3 and higher. On the menu " Users» A new restricted account is created where parents set up lists of apps that can or cannot be enabled from that account. Also, the functions allow you to block any purchases through games and applications. Other actions for the user are allowed. And it is for those who want to better set up parental controls on the device that a third-party program will be needed. Therefore, now we will analyze what programs generally exist to solve this problem.

Third Party Android Apps

All programs can be found in a special Android store - Google Play. If you need the ability to hide any specific applications from the child, then programs will help you Xoolo App Kids And . The latter, among other functions, provides a selection of YouTube channels where children's cartoons are played.

Applications Play pad And timeway help control the time spent on a particular application, as well as block the inclusion of programs for a certain period. Both presented applications also allow you to track the location of the device and the child along with it.

Same Play pad together with KidRead in an interesting way they divide applications into different sections like “Games”, “Education” and others, which helps the child to separate free time from study time. KidRead, by the way, tries a rather non-standard parental administrator control, as it allows the child to earn points by working in educational programs and lose them while relaxing with gaming ones.

Well, to limit the work on the Internet, you will need Safety Minder or , allowing you to blacklist various unwanted links. By the way, the second program has its own list, which you can include and modify. Also, these programs make it possible to track search queries and transitions to different pages.

Conclusion

In this article, it was considered: what is parental control, how to install it. With the development of modern technology, it is so necessary to protect your child from endless stay on the Internet or in computer games. Parental control requires the creation of an account for a user who has to set restrictions or controls when he uses a PC. Its creation and configuration in Windows 7 is not too different from XP. And the settings in Windows 8 are the same as in Windows 10, with the exception of some nuances.
