Default Internet Security for young kids .

My son is nine years old and I want to him internet savvy. I want him to familiarize himself with internet operations as knowledge of the internet is a must these days. And I think he is in the right age for this. But I am also aware of the hazards of internet usage and would like to safeguard my child from them. Is this possible?

There are several Anti-Virus and Internet browsers that offer parental controls when operating them. Upon initial instillation, set these parental controls, that way, if your son happens to stumble upon a website that is deemed "Dangerous" by the Anti-Virus software or the Internet browser, the website will be blocked.

My daughter who is only four is very internet savvy already! What I do is I set the computer in the living room where anyone can see what she is browsing so we could monitor her and I am always working near here as well. I wonder what she'll know in the internet comes her teen years so I am really very wary.

use a reliable anti-virus, im using ESET nod32 antivirus and it's works perfectly well for me. restrict him from accessing sites that shouldn't be. or you can add website addresses under the Not Allowed urls on the web browser's options. If you are using Internet Explorer go to Internet Options, if Firefox go to Options.

Hello DomesticDiva

Don't worry about your daughter, Have many software to monitor your pc also possible to monitor her activity in internet through your pc. Like if you need to copy her chatting just install chatting copy software by google searching that's ok for you I think.
