4. Internet Parental Control Software

Parental control software is a form of content-control software that is used by parents in order to filter out web information that is inappropriate for children.  This type of software is generally used to filter out pornographic websites and other various websites that a parent would not want their children to be viewing.  This filtering software can be purchased by parents for about $30-$60, but there is also free parental control software that can be downloaded, but may not be as effective as the purchased software.  There are also settings within the internet browser itself that a parent can set in order to filter out certain inappropriate websites in the search engine, but these are not very effective.
 
One of the most highly rated parental control software packages is the Net Nanny, which is rated at 92.56% and costs $28.99.  PureSight PC is another package that is highly effective, but not as widely used because it costs $60.  On the cheaper end of the spectrum, K9 Web Protection is a free software download that has received relatively good ratings.
