  • very nice Informative article.you have dealt in detail about each parental control. thats nice common people will be knowing one or two where it will be very confusing but you have mentioned in detail its very nice.

  • Thanks for this list of helpful resources. Another thought: Have you ever heard of accountability software? Accountability software is specifically for adults who want to guard where they go online without any blocking or filtering. Combined with filtering, it's a great Internet safety solution for the whole family. If you want more info about it check out my post “Is Filtering All There Is?” - http://www.covenanteyes.com/blog/2008/06/12/is-...
  • Personally, I moved my kids computers into one central location from where I can keep half an eye on what they are doing.

    I was thinking of installing a keylogger to allow me to see exactly what they are up to at times but I know my eldest is clever enough to get around that by using friends' computers.

    I guess, ultimately, explaining to your kids what is right, wrong, safe and dangerous online is all you can do to be absolutely sure they don't come across unsuitable material or unsavoury people.
