Notes |
If you need both
filtering & monitoring, this should be your first choice. |
| |
|
For use on up to
3 (three) computers.
|
|
For filtering
only, you can’t go wrong with these three . Each
has its advantages, but all will help protect your
children’s innocence. |
|
|
Advantage over Spector
Pro if Remote features are necessary, if not then monitoring
is comparable. |
Comparable monitoring to
Web Watcher except for remote features. Slightly better Tech
Support.
For MAC version, click here. |
Not quite the monitoring
fire power as Web Watcher or Spector Pro, but it costs less.
Stealth version add $10. |

| Blessed Are The Pure In Heart —
A
Pastoral Letter on the Dignity of the Human Person and the Dangers
of Pornography. By Bishop Robert W. Finn Diocese of Kansas City ~
St. Joseph. Don’t pass this by.
Chapter I intro: “The dignity and respect due to every human person is not assigned
by any group of people, nor granted by a government. Our dignity is
not contingent on what we own, or even on what we do. We cannot buy
it or sell it. This dignity and worth comes from God as a complete
and inestimable gift.” |

Filters, blockers, monitors, how do
they differ and which one is right for your family?
Filtering/blocking software is designed to protect your children’s
innocence by screening out and blocking objectionable material from
ever appearing on your computer screen. The most prevalent Internet
perversion is the nearly 500 million pornographic web pages that are
so easily accessible, often inadvertently, due to tricks
pornographers use to lure web surfers unsuspectingly to porn sites.
Most filtering software has many blocking categories that parents
may select. Pornography is just the worst. No filtering software is
100% accurate and that is why you also need the Kid Safe Cyberspace
booklet which gives you other parental control options.
Order it
here.
Use filters/blockers for kids, up to ages 10 or 12 years old, who
only use the internet for children’s web sites that you, the parent
select (simple games, reading, exploring the world around them,
school projects, fun kid stuff, etc.)
Once children begin to use email, instant messaging, social
networking sites, lots of web surfing, then you must add monitoring
software to your arsenal of parental controls. As a parent, you want
to keep track of where your children are and what they are doing,
not only in the real world, but in the virtual world as well (the
Internet is far more dangerous than the real world and it is closer
than your front door).
Monitoring software essentially records and tracks all computer and
Internet activity such as; both sides of chat and instant messaging,
web pages visited with screen shots of some of the pages, email,
keystrokes, peer-to-peer downloading, and everything else. This
recorded information is then made available to you, the parent, to
allow you to keep track of what your kids are doing, where they are
doing it and with whom they are doing it with. |
