Hi all,
I need some advice concerning parental control issue. I'm suspecting my son of watching porn sites via the internet. I want to start to control him somehow, of course after a serious talk. I saw some software but there are plenty of them and I'm confused. I was hoping that maybe some of you use things like that and you could give me suggestions which one is the best?
Thanks for any help
Hopefully others on here with more knowledge than me can suggest some software, but have you spoken to your internet service provider? They may provide filters or technical advice on this.
I have got very poor contact with them... They are not reliable at all.
So are there any people with knowledge about software?
Well, maybe the talk would be enough? Try it first, and then see. You can also place his computer into an common space like living room in order to see what is he actually watching. About software, I think that NetNanny is the best one at the moment. K9 and PCWebControl also worth consideration, but actually if you don't want to spend any extra cash you can just use monitoring options from Windows itself (I assume you have one?).
