When kids surf the web, they are confronted with a great deal of inappropriate material that they can stumble on by just clicking a few links on a web page. Intego, the Macintosh security specialist, helps protect children from the dangers of the Internet, and today announced a new version of its acclaimed ContentBarrier X5 parental control software.
ContentBarrier X5 shields children from offensive content, and prevents them from stumbling on the dark side of the Internet. It protects children from adult web sites, predatory chats, suggestive e-mail and more. Parents choose which categories of content to block, and can block specific applications or protocols (peer-to-peer, instant messaging, e-mail, games, streaming audio and video, and more). Parents can also set up schedules with time limits so their children can only access the Internet at specific times.
New Features of ContentBarrier X5:
- Improved interface for ease-of-use
- Full recording of activity: sites visited, sites blocked, chats, e-mail, applications, screenshots and keystrokes
- Improved content category filters
- Remote web administration from any computer: Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, etc.
- Filters more protocols: FTP/SFTP, SSH, HTTPS and online games
- Quick enabling/disabling of protection for each user
- Prevents external disks and volumes from mounting
- Instant parental authorization for blocked sites
- Easy-access palette to start and stop Internet session timing
