Internet Parental Control Software
From what I've read so far, I came to find that internet parental control software fall into the umbrella of internet filters. Just like regular filters, they block certain websites that should not be viewed by children. There are a variety of software that provide this service. There are softwares that can be downloaded onto computers in order to monitor and control a users computer and internet activity. Parental Control Software can set restrictions, block, monitor and record all or just certain internet and computer activity, based on the settings you give it.
Here are tow ways by which parental control software work. First they can block access to specific types of sites by URL restriction such as gambling and porn websites. When your child tries to go to one of these websites an HTTP 404 Page Not Found error message will pop up. You can also block certain computer programs like games and file downloading from the internet like music downloading, Youtube or certain pictures. It is also possible to filter content by specific words or phrases like sex or drugs which can guarantee ensure searches made on those words are blocked. Parents can also set up a filter that blocks access to certain traffic on the Internet, such as email, newsgroups, instant messaging, and peer to peer hosting.
