14. Parental Control
Acronis Internet Security Parental Control enables you to control the access to the
Internet and to specific applications for each user holding a user account on the
system.
You can configure Parental Control to block:
inappropriate web pages.
Internet access, for specific periods of time (such as when it's time for lessons).
web pages, e-mail messages and instant messages if they contain specific
keywords.
applications like games, chat, filesharing programs or others.
instant messages sent by IM contacts other than those allowed.
Important
Only users with administrative rights on the system (system administrators) can
access and configure Parental Control. To make sure that only you can change the
Parental Control settings for any user, you can protect them with a password. You
will be prompted to configure the password when you enable the Parental Control
for a specific user.
Once you have configured Parental Control, you can easily find out what your children
are doing on the computer.
14.1. Configuring Parental Control
Before you configure Parental Control, create separate Windows user accounts for
your children to use. This will allow you to know exactly what each of them is doing
on the computer. You should create limited (standard) user accounts so that they
cannot change the Parental Control settings. For more information, please refer to
How Do I Create Windows User Accounts? (p. 147).
If your children can access an administrator account on their computer, you must
configure a password to protect the Parental Control settings. For more information,
please refer to Protecting Parental Control Settings (p. 79).
To configure Parental Control:
1. Make sure you are logged on to the computer with an administrator account.
Only users with administrative rights on the system (system administrators) can
access and configure Parental Control.
2. Open Acronis Internet Security.
3. Depending on the user interface view mode, access the Parental Control settings
as follows:
