Keeping The Internet Safe For Your Home

Are you are a parent or a guardian? I believe you know that children of all ages loves to surf the web and even play some online games. This can be great fun for your children as well as good source of information but it can also be a bit nerve racking when you think of young children having full access to wide range of content that is available on the internet.

You might install some type of parental controls on your child’s internet access to make sure that they can only access websites with content that is appropriate with their age. Luckily, most computers have already been built with those parental control settings.

Though the blocks work well, the control cannot limit all inappropriate contents your children can access on the web. These blocks can identify pornographic content as well as violent ones but there are still some things which can slip through these filtering devices. A great way to create a safety net that will allow you to find out what your children are accessing on the web is to install a key logger device on the computer.

A key logger is a software you can purchase at a computer store or buy and download it on the internet. Its work is not specifically to block any specific content but it’s designed to see what an individual views and what they type while they are online. This would be very helpful to put you in touch with what your kids are doing while they are online and you are not around.

It is password protected so that you will be the only one who can access it. It will let you know who they are talking to and what websites they are visiting. This can help you get a feel for exactly what your child is doing on the web. Having this software means that you can allow your child to use the web unattended and still know exactly what is going on.
