KidsWatch

The Internet is full of websites that are you might want to keep your kids out of. In order to control the time spent on the computer, access to the Internet or play time, a specialized tool is required.

KidsWatch is a nice program that can be useful to have around since it gives you control over the things your child views and plays on the computer. The app has a simple interface and a clean layout, making it easy to work with.

If you have a special account set for the kids, then it’s possible to adjust the clearance level for each type of activity.

Thus, it’s possible to set time limits for using the computer. The app can even warn the kids ahead of the “closing time” so they can save their work.

You may even set up a list of websites that you want to block out for the kids. You can even test the server communications between the computer and the filtering servers.

Several email settings can be created as well. Thus, you can get scheduled reports every once in a while. You must set the outgoing mail server, SMTP authentication if required by the ISP (Internet Service Provider), as well as the email address.

The tool can also be used to synchronize the PC clock with the Internet World Clock, so any attempts to change the PC’s data and time from a restricted account is impossible.

KidsWatch is a great tool that can come in handy on a daily basis. Less experienced individuals shouldn’t have any troubles while installing and customizing this program, thanks to its overall simplicity.
