Winnie Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 My daughter has recently purchased a new laptop. She has an older desktop (gateway)with windows XP, that she wants to give to her daughter & son. At this point she wants to see that the teens stay in sights that are child safe. With no ability to download illegal content such as porn, music or movies. Is there a way to do this in windows xp? Many friends online recommended that I should buy Internet mac spy and mac keylogger. But it seems only apply to mac computers, i don't know if it can also use on windows......Please do tell me if you have a solution to this… Thanks so much for your time NEVER SAY GOODBYE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 There is such software for windows XP. PC Tattletale ($50 or so) will work for Windows XP. I strongly reccomend that in lieu of spying on your children, you have a talk with them as to why these things are illegal, because if they find out, they'll probably be very upset. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom AZ Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 You could try a DNS service like OpenDNS. Even their classic free service offers lots of parental control -- and also protection against lots of other bad internet stuff. No compatibility problem at all with XP. http://www.opendns.com/home-solutions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Fast Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Winnie, long story short, other than doing the following: - Open DNS - Restricted user account Etc, you don't really have much you can do. If you block Internet Explorer, they can use Firefox. If you restrict the IE settings (saves it in the registry), a quick google search can reveal how to remove it, if not a utility for it. Best is education, because most all other ways just have ways around them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liju_cherian Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Winnie, Option 1: use Kaspersky Internet Security 2012, there is Parental Control with Password protected for Profiles. After you enable all the things will be blocked. For more details: http://www.kaspersky.co.uk/kaspersky_internet_security Option 2: [Not much use full but still] use only Internet Explorer browser Set the "Content Adviser" and set password protected. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Liju Cherian Dell Studio 1737| 3.2 GHz Windows 7 32 Bit | 4 GB RAM | 500 GB WD HDD | ATI Radeon 3600. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
