March 24, 2010 at 03:55"Children and the Internet": programs to help
Hello! For some reasons, I was faced with the need to find a good program to “limit” children from “bad” sites.
In this topic, I would not want to talk about the need to control children on the Internet - this is decided by each parent himself . I would like to help those who nevertheless decided to attract specialized software to help. For when searching for the necessary program - I spent a lot of time, and the solution lay on the surface.

So, as I wrote above: there was a need to find a program of the so-called “Parental Control”, “Internet Filter”. One of the conditions was: "free program." The time limit for finding the necessary software was short. It should be noted that everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance.
If you score in Yandex-Google-Bing, etc. Parental Control request (or similar), then 90 out of 100 chances that you will come across a good review of these two-year-old programs on the popular ixbt site: Utilities for parental control over sites visited by children .
The article is not bad, but this is not what we needed. Let's briefly explain why:
Crawler Parental Control - no longer exists, its development has been discontinued, and download links have been removed.
KidsControl is like a good program, but the price of 870 rubles is embarrassing. If you put it on a home computer, then maybe it’s suitable. And the last update of the program was oh how long.
ParentalControl Bar is also an "old man", already forgotten by the developers. IE8 - kills every other time. Yes, and nothing prevents the launch of another browser. There is no default black-and-white list.
Spector Pro - unlike the above - not abandoned. But the price of $ 99.95 is repulsive.
CyberMama is an abandoned project. Yes, and does not know how to filter sites.
The computer was already moaning from the control programs installed on it. And already about to sleep, I came across one of the forums on the Internet Censor program .
Having visited their site, the thought arose: “and how much does it cost ?!”. But immediately I saw: "distributed free of charge." Already not bad.
I looked at the main features on the site - they satisfy the request. There is a primary list of “good” sites, you can add your own. It is possible to switch the "stiffness" of control. Updates. Simple interface, etc.
I went to the license agreement - satisfies the requirement. You can bet as much as you like, and anywhere.
I decided to put it - to test it.
Satisfied with the result more than.
Initially, there is an excellent, trusted list of trusted sites. I climbed the test on the Internet - I even somehow didn’t feel the presence of the program much. But when you try to "get into where you don’t need to", or "why don’t have to jump out" - the program happily reported in a beautiful form: "ah-yay."
It is strange that the link to this program did not jump out to the "popular" requests for parental control.
Let's move on to the program itself.
It is located on the official website of the Internet Censor . It is worth noting that the appearance of the site is quite pleasing to the eye.
The site contains instructions both in Video Format and in pictures. Any housewife can deliver.
After installation, we are greeted by the welcome screen of the program asking you to enter a password (it starts up during installation):
After entering, we will be
greeted by a very friendly and intuitive interface: In general, a blunder. All the necessary settings that may be needed are available.
Now let's see how friends with antiviruses are in the “friendship” list:
Which is very good.
In general, you can describe the program for a long time. If there is a need, then you can read and download it here: Internet Censor
The most interesting
The program is absolutely free. The developers are domestic. Updated well. Has an alert on mail, etc. The site is pleasing to the eye. Help system - at the level. There is even a recommendation to use this program from the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation. But there is very little information about it on the Internet. Most links to commercial products, often with a lack of Russian.
Afterword
I will not say that this is “not an advertisement”. Rather, even she is the most. Only completely free and based on ordinary enthusiasm.
