FIGURE 3.10 Parental Controls.

You can control the following areas:

. Web restrictions: You can restrict the websites that children can visit, make sure children only visit age-appropriate websites, indi- cate whether you want to allow file downloads, and set up which content you want the content filters to block and allow. You can also block or allow specific websites.

. Time limits: You can set time limits to control when children are allowed to log on to the computer. Time limits prevent children from logging on during the specified hours and, if they are already logged on, they are automatically logged off. You can set different logon hours for every day of the week.

. Games: You can control access to games, choose an age rating

level, choose the types of content you want to block, and decide whether you want to allow or block unrated or specific games.

. Allow or block specific programs: You can prevent children from running programs that you don’t want them to run.

After you’ve set up Parental Controls, you can set up activity reports to keep a record of your child’s computer activity.
