September 11, 2010 at 12:20Google launched Family Safety Center
Yes, another novelty from Google Corporation - the company's developers are constantly trying to create new products, most of which are becoming popular (of course, a fiasco like Google Wave also happens, but not so often, agree). So, the Family Safety Center , launched by the corporation the other day, is designed to inform people about the various dangers that may lurk you on the Web. This is truly a "family" product that is designed for all ages.
In the Family Safety Center you can find a variety of information about malicious software, access control for a PC and how to enter it, vulnerabilities of various software and more. In general, this is a kind of security database that is intended for not very trained people.
The product is called “family-friendly” because, according to the developers, parents will be able to create reliable control systems for children working on a PC, in particular, on the Web. In addition, the “Family Security Center” can provide information on “parental” filters that can protect the child from unwanted information, in large quantities available on the Web. The Center has especially a lot of information about how parents can protect their minor children from all these threats.
By the way, there is less frightening information, which tells about how you can optimally organize a workplace for your child. There is even information on setting up search engines - it’s no secret that a large number of users simply don’t know how to use search services correctly. As you know, Google has features such as SafeSearch on Google, SafeSearch Lock - the "Center" describes how to configure such functions.
Most likely, Google created its product as a competitive service for Microsoft Live Family Safety and Security Essentials. It may well be that some of the features mentioned in the Family Safety Center will be available on Google’s OS if it does appear.
But the main purpose of the Family Safety Center is to provide all the information necessary for the protection of their children to parents and teachers of children. Let's hope this information is really useful. Unfortunately, there is no information in Russian yet, so only English-speaking web users can rejoice.
