Maybe your children are at the age of learning to use the family computer when all of a sudden…oops! The computer screen is covered with pop ups of porn that you cannot get rid of fast enough. Then comes the question “mommy or daddy what was that?” It is better to learn how to block the porn from the family PC before the embarrassing moment.

There will be cases where you will want to block sites from the eyes of smaller children on the family computer. In doing so, you will have more opportunity to supervise the use of the computer and what is being seen. Later after the children have grown, they may have their own personal computer in their room, in which case your hands-on supervision may be limited or non-existent. In both cases, there is software capable of controlling the website or porn blocking task.

Blocking your PC from porn will help protect your children from material they should not be exposed to. One of the easiest ways to block porn is with parental control software. This is simple and easy to use software that is readily available.

When deciding on parental control software, Cialis Jelly make sure it has website blocking/monitoring options as well as the ability to block sites on the fly. The better software packages will contain a ready-made database of known porn websites, which you can add to, as well as the ability to create a safe list of sites to which you want to allow your children access.

If you are planning to block porn sites from an older child’s personal computer, you may need a different form of software. This type of software allows you to conceal or cloak it. This will keep your child from being able to access the software to edit it to allow porn sites. This is sometimes called a “stealth-monitoring mode.” Even if your child is computer savvy, he/she will not be able to disable the blocking software.

If your child will be using email or social networking sites such as Facebook or MySpace, you will want the porn blocking software to include a proactive content filter, which will block porn on the fly. These sites will have the ability of sending pornographic images that you will want to block before they appear on the screen.

The most desired features of a good quality porn blocking software is the ability to have website blacklisting, website whitelisting and a content filter. Website blacklisting will block the porn or suggestive websites while whitelisting will give you the ability to create a list of good sites you want your children to use. The content filter will block images and content from email and social networking sites that you may feel are inappropriate or offensive.
