February 26th, 2010Internet Access Control-How To Filter Websites
If you have reason to suspect there may be someone in your family that is looking at adult websites, then it is a good idea to consider different internet access control ideas. By the time you are done reading this article you will know all the steps you should do in order to choose the perfect filtering software.
1-Check the internets history
One of the best ways to control what is being looked at on your computer at home is to check the history every night before you go to bed, or check the history right after your child gets off the internet. If you have a young child who has never used the internet before then this will work all the time. However, if they have been using the internet for a while now I am sure they know how to delete the history. If that happens then you are going to need to try a different strategy.
2-Purchase a filtering software
Did you know that there are actually software’s out there that you can purchase that will monitor every single website that get’s visited on your computer. If you are wondering whether or not there are free ones available, the answer is yes. However, they do not work near as well as the ones you paid for and are probably not even worth it, they will just take up space in your computer.
A great filter that you can try using is one called Net Nanny. Net Nanny has been voted the number one internet access filter for the past four years because of its excellence in not only monitoring the websites that are being visited but it also in monitoring your child’s myspace, facebook, and other instant messaging software’s.
If Net Nanny is too expensive at the moment, another great one to get is Safe Eyes. This is a great software if your household has more than one computer. It will let you download the software on to the wireless internet so you are not limited to just one computer. This means you will be able to monitor the websites that are being visited from every computer, not just one.
It is great to have an Internet Access Control on your computer. To learn more about the best filtering software look at http://InternetAccessControl.info
