Parental Control
Parental Control is a new feature in Quick Heal Total Security that lets parents control the Internet activity for their children. It
provides features that can restrict categories of websites or user-specified websites. It also allows parents to schedule Internet
access for their children.
Parental Control can be accessed by clicking Internet & Network -> Parental Control from the
Dashboard . The following
features are available under Parental Control:
Restrict access to particular categories of website
This option allows you to configure access and disable categories of websites (like pornographic, crime and violence, drugs and
alcohol, adult, etc.) that can be visited during an Internet session. This is perfect for parents, who want to ensure that their kids
visit the right kind of websites and are not exposed to materials unsuitable for kids. To restrict access to particular categories of

and they can retain the default settings for their kids.
4. You can also exclude a website from being blocked, despite being in the blocked category, by adding it to the exclusion
