The safety of children on the Internet is one of the greatest concerns for adults when their kids use computers.
The content they can access, the Web pages they can see or the people who can contact them is a serious worry for parents.
How can you protect your kids on the Web? No doubt you have heard of ‘parental control’, but do you know how it works? Are you aware of all that you can do with this feature?
What is parental control?
Parental control lets the administrator user of a computer, in this case the parents, deny access to inappropriate content. In addition to this, the new Panda 2015 products also include the option to monitor kids’ Internet activity.
They offer a summary of the pages and categories that the children have visited most, along with a detailed report of all the pages accessed (page, category, date/time).
The technology used in this parental control feature is independent of the Web browser, so simply deleting the history or changing browsers won’t affect the monitoring of kids’ online activity.
Similarly, parental control lets you block pages according to content by using categories or blacklists.
Sounds useful, doesn’t it? Well, you’ll find this feature in the most comprehensive antivirus solutions: Panda Internet Security 2015, Panda Global Protection 2015 and Panda Gold.
Are you concerned about activating it? Here you have the instructions how to install parental control on your computer.
Panda Security specializes in the development of endpoint security products and is part of the WatchGuard portfolio of IT security solutions. Initially focused on the development of antivirus software, the company has since expanded its line of business to advanced cyber-security services with technology for preventing cyber-crime.

Why is it that I am not able to block facebook by using panda parental control
Hi Grace,
Turn on parental control for the user you want to deny facebook, and add that URL to the denied list in settings.
Thanks for your comment!
Kind regards,
Panda Security.
