<h3><span style="color: #262626;">Parental Control Software Explained</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #262626;">There are several brands and types of parental control software available for both computers and mobile devices.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #262626;">Typically, they enable you to filter out inappropriate content such as pornographic and violent material, reducing the chances of your child being exposed to it. Some allow you to set different profiles for if you have children of different ages accessing the same computer or device.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #262626;">Sometimes, these filters can over or under-block, leaving your child unable to access some perfectly innocent sites, or in some case may be able to view pages that are inappropriate for their age. Most will let you block or unblock particular sites to give you more control.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #262626;">A result of these settings is that newspaper sites such as DailyMail, TheSun, Telegraph are blocked on various days due to the nature of their content, stories or advertisements matching your content block such as violence, guns or betting. However, this is simply your family protection software doing its job.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #262626;">Some parental control software lets you monitor your child's online activity, so you can see which websites they have been viewing and how long they were online for. You can do this as standard in the browser history in Apple's Safari browser, Google's Chrome or MSFT Edge in Windows 10.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #262626;">Some even provide you with reports on your child's social networking activity – with some programs enabling you to set time limits to your child's online activities – restricting access to the internet, or to certain websites at certain times of the day. This allows you to block social networking or entertainment sites when your child is meant to be doing his or her homework.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #262626;">Additionally, you can access the software via a login at any time to modify the filters and blocked or unblocked sites, as your child gets older. And as with all software, it is very important to perform updates when notified.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #262626;">Importantly you can block access to Online Game Apps which cache payment details. Occasionally a game will ask if you wish to save payment details for convenience. Usually a good idea not to or Junior might spend a month's mortgage playing online.</span></p>
