Press Release Body = It's easy for a parent to lose control of his or her child.
Life is hectic and most parents have to work one, sometimes two jobs just to stay on
top of all the bills. Realizing that this is a sign of the times, smart
entrepreneurs have started coming up with ways to help busy parents out. One type of
product that's proven extremely useful is parent control software - software that
helps a parent control a child's computer use.

Automatic shutdown software

How can parent control software help parents? Well, for starters, there is software
that will automatically turn off the computer during the times that have been
established by parents. It's very difficult for parents to limit their children's pc
access when they are not home. Parents can make such requests and even threaten to
punish their children for disobeying, but up until now, it was impossible for them
to push the OFF button remotely.

Automatic shutdown software gives control back to parents by enabling them to
determine when and for how long their children can be online. Parents can program
the software to shut off and remain off for minutes, hours and even for days at a
time! They can program the pc shutdown feature during the afternoons when their
children should be focusing on their homework and during those hours when children
are supposed to be sleeping.

Parent control software prevents access

There also is software that enables a parent to control access to specific computer
programs installed on the hard drive or accessible via the Internet. All the parent
has to do is type in the names of the software programs they do not want their
children to access from the computer. These can be any programs including instant
messaging and computer games.

With the list of software program names in place, computer access is denied. The
only person who can grant access to the program is the person who knows the correct
password!

Monitoring software

An assortment of monitoring software exists to help parents monitor all sorts of
activity. For example, there is monitoring software that tracks every single
keystroke the child makes. With this type of monitoring software installed, parents
know exactly what their children are saying while online. You know what's in their
chat logs and more.

There is also monitoring software that will send an email to parents whenever the
software detects what it believes is "objectionable" or "questionable" material on
the computer on which it has been installed. It does not turn off the PC in
question, nor does it restrict PC access. Instead, it's like having a set of eyes
constantly watching to see what's being done with the computer.

And there's plenty more. If you've got children and if those children spend any time
at all on the computer, it's worth the effort to check out all the parent control
software that's available. It might not be something you need now, but it's
definitely good to know parent control software is there when you need it!
