Monitor Your Child's Computer

It is a shame we live in a day and age where the suggestion of invading your child's privacy by monitoring their activities has to be taken seriously. However, MySpace.com, the porn industry, and sexual predators leave us no choice.

Our children may know more about computers than many of us, but they do not know more about was is or is not appropriate or safe. As parents we have the responsibility to keep them safe and to make sure they are not exposed to inappropriate content.

I operate the Kidsearch Network and Runaway Teens .org and I can tell you that you do not want to be one of the parents I have to help.

No parent thinks their child will be the one that becomes a runaway or one that is abducted, but it happens often enough that we have to do something about it. There are evil people out there that will harm children and we have to deal with that reality.

The good news that along with the dangers new technology brings, it is also used to create safeguards that help you deal with new technology in regards to your child's safety.

One such program is Online Safety Shield. Here are some of the things that it can do for you as a parent.

Block Inappropriate Content and Programs Proprietary, and regularly updated, database of over 50,000 websites containing inappropriate content.
Instantly block all of these websites.

Block websites based on URL. Block websites based on dynamic content analysis. OnlineSafetyShield will check the entire contents of the webpage for any forbidden keywords (that you can specify in addition to the list we provide) and will immediately close the browser before website can even display.

Block most common chat applications if you choose to. Block ads and pop-ups. Block images whose alt image tags or file names contain forbidden keywords. Search and view all images on your computer and easily delete them.

Automatically compile list of applications existing on your computer so you can block specific ones. Block the use of any non-Internet Explorer browser OnlineSafetyShield can't monitor.

Block file share programs like those that distribute copyrighted material illegally. These file sharing programs are the most common method of distributing porn as well. Block media files from playing, such as MPEG, DVD, AVI, MP3, and more if you choose to.

Block specific keywords from being typed into chat, email, web forms, or email attachments. View a list of all websites visited, and easily add any website to your Block List. Prevent websites from resetting your browser home, search, or local pages.

Monitor program activity, including the person accessing the program, start time, length of use, and most importantly, how the program was actively used (was the program idle or actually interacted with).

Log screenshots at the frequency and resolution you choose. You can base these on time of day, when specific keywords are typed, or when particular websites are visited.

Record every keystroke typed, including invisible keystrokes (SHIFT, CTRL, ALT) and those entered into password fields (rather than only seeing asterisks).

Log anything that goes into the clipboard for copying and pasting. Record every URL visited. Log attachments sent or received in Outlook emails.
