The internet has given children access to the vast source of information that can help in his or her education and learning. However, the unfettered access can lead the child to those areas of the internet which any parent would not like them to be. To help parents in that task, Microsoft Windows is offering everyone the Family Safety software package. This free parental control software can help protect your kids from exposure to unwanted areas of the internet. With Family Safety, you decide how your kids experience the Internet. Limit searches, monitor and block or allow websites, and decide who your kids can communicate with in Windows Live Spaces, Messenger, or Hotmail. * The Family Safety Filter must be installed on each computer your children use. If the Filter is not installed, the safety settings cannot be enforced. Please refer to the minimum hardware and system requirements before you install the software.
