How to Protect Your Child against Inappropriate Content?

Follow these steps to protect your child against inappropriate content:

1. Create a Windows limited-user account. To prevent your child from accessing the Parental Control module or modifying its settings, he or she must have limited rights on your system.
2. Select user. The list of people who use the computer is displayed in the Status section. Choose from this list the user you want to protect using Parental Control.
3. Set overall protection. Go to the Status section to enable the protection controls for your child. If you have enabled the heuristic web filter, set the appropriate protection level.
4. Block sites. Go to the Web section to make a list of websites to which your child is denied access. Where needed, you can specify exceptions. You can also block access to a list of websites provided by BitDefender. These websites have inappropriate or possibly dangerous content.
5. Block applications. Go to the Applications section to block access to applications you do not want your child to use.
   Note:
   If you feel that your child spends too much time playing, using media or messaging software or some other applications, you can block his/her access to them.
6. Block words. To prevent your child from seeing potentially dangerous content on the web or in the mail, use the Keyword filtering to look for particular words or phrases indicative of such content. Go to the Keyword section to define rules that block access to websites or e-mail messages, or both, if they contain specific strings.
7. Control web access. Go to the Time limiter section to specify the timetable according to which web access is allowed.
8. Protect your settings with a password. Access the General module, Settings section and select Enable password protection for product settings. Only users who know the password will be able to modify the settings you imposed to a certain user.
