Parental PC Control Features Our program offers some of the most advanced tracking, monitoring, and usage-limiting tools available. We have worked hard to make sure that, as a parent, you will have control of your PC as if you are a PC guru.  While it would be nice to have a detailed understanding of how our PCs work, not many of us have the time or are willing to put in the effort to understand them.  After working all day one thing is certain; you probably don’t have time to watch your children’s every move on the family computer. In this day and age of computing, technology changes fast; tools for the computer change even faster. How you monitor your children can change daily. By using our service, it’s like having access to advanced programmers working for you in your house. Our programmers are gamers, chatters, and pure PC enthusiasts. They use their PCs every day, and they monitor this fast moving technology world. We promise to keep ahead of the game, and offer you, the parent, tools to make the home computer a more productive tool, as well as a tool that can be used for fun.  Below, you will find a list of just some of the features we offer with Parental PC installed on your home computer. Game Playing Parental PC: Restricts the availability and the amount of time each game can be played. Allows you to identify games appropriate for each individual user's age and maturity level. Prohibits the loading of any game on your PC without parental consent. Records who played what and for how long. With Parental PC you will have 24/7 monitoring and established rules which put you in control of your home computer. Each child has his/her own individual rules established based upon his/her specific needs. Internet Sites Parental PC: Allows you to restrict specific sites you identify as inappropriate for each user. Tracks and records each site visited and for how long by individual user. Reporting and tracking gives you the knowledge to be involved in and make decisions about the appropriateness of each child's internet use. With Parental PC you can determine if your child accidentally went to a site or is visiting intentionally. Knowledge of specific sites and the amount of time spent will give you the ability to make appropriate decisions for your family. Are your children doing research or surfing the web? Chat Rooms Parental PC: Allows you to prohibit access to chat programs, if desired. Allows you to restrict chat room access to certain times of the day. Allows you to restrict specific chat rooms. Allows you to capture the full dialog of every participant in any chat room. Creates a log of who is in the chat room. Parental PC gives you the ability to evaluate who is being chatted with and what is said in a chat room. You don't always know who your children are talking to but you will know what was said. Don't let your child be an innocent victim. E-mail and Instant Messaging (IM) Parental PC: Allows you to restrict who each child can receive instant messages from. Allows you to record all incoming and outgoing e-mails and instant messages. Provides a complete dialog record for e-mails and instant messaging. Allows you to restrict the times of day these activities are allowed. Reports on the total amount of time spent by each user. All too often you read stories or see news programs or other TV shows discussing the abuse of instant messaging. You can never really tell who you are talking to unless you have met the person in real life. In the example, do we really know who “BoardingBilly” is?  the simple answer is: we don’t.  Certainly everyone on the internet is not bad, and people can make new friends, but as a parent you need to know who your kids are hanging out with and who they are planning to meet.  You can’t sit behind your children 24/7 and monitor who they are chatting with. That is where Parental PC comes in.  It gives you the tools to set who your kids can and can’t talk to, and it also gives you the information so you can ask your children questions about who they are talking with and how they know them. Instant messaging can be a great tool for discussing school, sports, hobbies. There is plenty of information out there and a lot of it is good and a lot of people can be helpful.  As a parent you need to have the final say, and this tool will help with managing your child’s chatting activities. Time Management Parental PC: Allows you to monitor each user's time spent on the computer. Allows you to set the time of day the computer is available for each individual user. Allows you to manage each user individually by establishing his/her personal profile. Individual User Profile Parental PC: Allows each child/user to have his/her own special profile. One license allows up to five individual users and can run on three separate PCs in one household. Additional user licensing is available. Internet access allows you to modify each user’s profile anytime and from anywhere. Every child is different, with unique needs, and therefore requires individual controls. Parental PC allows you the maximum flexibility by not forcing you into a canned profile by age or grouping. Internet-Based Program Parental PC: The program data is not stored on your computer, therefore you have access anytime and from anywhere. This allows Parental PC to enhance products quickly. No reports or data reside on your PC, which could encumber your PC’s performance. Gives parents the opportunity to see what their kids are doing on the home PC. Allows you to modify access rights to the PC from anywhere. By having your Parental PC data stored off your computer nobody can do anything to your PC without your permission. If you think you have parental controls from your current internet service provider, think again. In most cases all your child has to do is click on Internet Explorer, or any of the other mainstream browsers to circumvent these controls. Reports Parental PC: Provides usage reports by user. Provides time allocation reports. Provides text reports of all dialog through e-mail, chat rooms, and instant messaging. Parental PC allows you to quickly review what each child is doing on your home computer and for how long. Continuous Improvement At Parental PC we promise to make sure that the latest browsers, chat clients, and new tools are supported.  We monitor what programs are commonly being used to make sure our product is continuously improved to meet your needs.  If you ever have ideas or concerns you can contact us.  We would be happy to hear any suggestions you might have.
