How do I choose a good content filter or parental control?
As a parent, there are many tools-some free, some not-that you can use to guide your children to a safer Internet experience. These include parental controls, software that can monitor your child’s activity or prevent them from posting personal information, and filters that screen sexually explicit images. Look for ease of use, the ability to customize the settings, and one that has the features you value. • Use Tools for Families on GetNetWise.org to find the parental control that’s best for your family. These range from complete spying tools that will record every keystroke your child (or anyone else ) makes online to less invasive programs that will give you the ability to limit contacts, monitor usage reports, block access to certain Web sites, and the like. • Check the Internet Filter Review for a thorough comparison of a comprehensive list of content filters to help you fight unwanted porn.
