Thread: Parental control software

Need a good parental control software for home use. If familiar with any of them, please share.

Thanks in advance.

lol...you cant control yourself kidding

This is how you can configure without 3rd party software.
I assume you have windows 7
How to Configure Parental Controls in Windows 7 - Windows 7

Engineering Windows 7 : Safeguarding Windows 7 – Parental Controls

Thanks Anil , But I need it for XP. I have heard that there is some script using which we can control the access to various sites

3rd Party Software
Parental Control Software & Internet Control Software for Parents

You can get it for free if you know where to look for :innocent:

I use Kaspersky Internet Security built in parental controls.

K9 Web Protection is a freeware Internet filtering service. All you need to do is install a small software, a free K9 Web Protection account/license and you can configure it to your requirements. And it's very easy to setup too.

Thanks Archer. ..........................

also try this.........from windows live

Family Safety - Windows Live

Thanks Anil. Do we need a genuine XP for this ?

They are all shareware software.

here is the list of parental controlling softwares

1)PureSight Parental Control
2)CyberPatrol Parental Controls
3)ChildCentre
4)ChatBlocker
5)KSS Parental Control
6)Net Nanny
7)FREE Parental Control Filter
8)ActiveScreenLock
9)Smart Keystroke Recorder
10)Golden Eye

Microsoft also has one called Windows Live Family Safety all you need is a Windows Live ID. It also does not require genuine Windows XP but I highly recommend you get a genuine version of Windows XP as it is never good to have a non-genuine copy of windows.

I use Net Nanny. It is paid software on subscription basis at roughly $40 per year.

And trust me. It is needed.

i am still a child and my dad has not installed any parental control....
because he trusts me and he knows that i only play games, login here and download movies for my sister.

also there is parental control software included in W7 right.......also it is in kaspersky internet security 2010.

Yes, it is in both Windows 7 and Kaspersky of course they do have a few limited features but they will suffice for the most needed features. I think mainly parental controls are needed to ensure kids don't go onto websites that could do harm to the computer by downloading viruses, malware, etc. And then time limits to ensure they aren't on it TOO much. haha

Just make sure you have the right security software monitoring your computer while you are on the internet and playing these games as many times this is where the harmful products and people can get into your computer. Just play it safe. :]
