How To Prevent Your Children From Looking At Adult Websites

You are smart enough to know that in this world, it is tough to search the internet without stumbling upon an adult website. What makes it even worse is most of the time you stumbled across that site on total accident. If you have children at home it is very important you protect their eyes from viewing a site that should not be viewed. In this article we are going to teach you how to filter certain sites on your computer.

1-Change your search settings

Even though changing your search settings will not actually filter websites, they will block certain websites from showing up in the search engine. This helps a lot because when most kids are browsing the web they do it through search engines. To change the settings is simple, all you have to do is go to the preferences and the search engines home page and select heavy filtering. It is important that you make sure it is working properly by doing a few searches on your own.

2-Use a program called Net Nanny

If you have never heard of a program called Net Nanny then you are going to want to learn more about it. Net Nanny will actually allow you to filter websites based off of what you want filtered. But it get's even better, you can do more than just filter websites. If you want you can also monitor your child’s use on facebook, myspace, and almost any instant messenger.

3-Use Pure Site if Net Nanny is too expensive

I know there are some people out there who are just looking for an inexpensive way to monitor what their children are looking at. If that is you then a program called Pure Sight is perfect. The reason it is much cheaper than Net Nanny is because you are not able to monitor the social networking sites or the instant messaging. However, it does do a great job blocking almost all adult websites.
