Attention Parents: The internet has replaced the television as the main communication tool for today’s youth. Although, it provides great content and increases communication speed, it is a dangerous tool if not used correctly. Today’s standard internet browsers, like Internet Explorer, provide unfettered access to all content on the internet. Your children have access to all types of content: adult, violence, video games, movies, music, etc. In addition, unless you remove the computer and monitor them twenty four hours a day, you don’t know how much time they spend on the internet.

Parental Control software was developed to give parents the control over their children’s internet usage. Using parental control software lets parents decide:

• What their kids can read and see on the internet;
• How much time their children can spend online;
• Track and monitor all internet activity;
• What computer programs their kids can use.

In today's reality, parental control software has become a reality; especially with the aggressive marketing efforts of the adult industry. Your child may follow your every word regarding internet usage; however, he or she may still be subject to obscene and adult pop-up advertisements.

What to Look For When Selecting Monitoring / Parental Control Software?

We updated our Buying Guide in July 2009, and found that the number of software providers has grown tenfold. Why are there so many? The short answer: parents have decided that this a must application to protect their children, and therefore the demand has increased – inherently, there are many of companies that try to offer a solution; even selling to a small percentage of a huge market is profitable for them.

In our review, we tried to narrow down the field of choices to companies that have several years of experience in this market – we did not want to evaluate companies that just released a product in 2009. With software, experience matters, often a product is released and it has errors or "bugs"; we did not want them to try their Parental Control Software on you.

Criteria to Consider:

• Features: Some key features to consider:
  • Customization of Control: you should be able to change any default protection level, either for mature usage, or changes as your children grow-up
  • Website Lists: easily change permitted/restricted websites.
  • Instant Messages: block / monitor instant messages from social networks.
  • Time control: monitor and limit time usage;
  • Program Control: monitor and limit computer programs.
• Ease of Use: Fortunately, these applications are designed for easy installation, and customization.
• Help: No matter how easy a tool is, it is important to know that if you have a question the company stands behind the product. Companies that made our review either offer live help by telephone or email.
• Cost: On average the cost of parental control software ranges between $70 and $120.

Choosing the right Monitoring and Parental Control Software will strike a balance between your protection of your children; and your child's productive internet usage.
