Reviewing The Results

So now you have your software configured and ready to start recording information as it takes place on the computer. But what do you do with the information once it is recorded?

First and foremost, do not underestimate your child's curiosity. So many times parents have been so shocked to learn that their children are doing things they never they never would have imagined on the Internet. Take a look at the information and determine if there are in fact any issues that stand out and need to be addressed immediately. Porn blocking software, if configured properly, should yield results if adult sites have been viewed.

If you find that you have children who are viewing inappropriate material, sit down with them and let them know that you have been monitoring their computer usage for their own safety and the dangers that could come about by viewing such content on the Internet. Some consequences may be required based on the severity of the issue such as the removal of the computer for a period of time, or perhaps the disconnection of Internet. Be prepared for some angry children as some might see this as an invasion of privacy, but all parents would agree that an angry child is a safe child!

Always keep your Porn Blocking Software up-to-date with the latest software patches, version upgrades, or bug fixes as they become available. As the world of porn, viruses and spyware evolve, so do the software packages that keep them out of your computer.
