Premise

With the influx of internet dependability for jobs, school, and even shopping, children are being exposed to the online world earlier and with more regularity. Combine that with moral degradation in society and aggressive and obtrusive advertising, our children are at risk with every exposure. It is this concept that we would like to address and hopefully show the internet community at large what our options are as parents/guardians.

Who are we?

We are Dennis and Sharon, new parents living in Utah. Like a lot of families we use the internet. With computers and internet in our house we want to keep our children safe and innocent. We have found some information we’d like to pass along to anybody with children, or simply anybody that would like sexually explicit material filtered out of their online experience.

What can you do to protect yourselves and your children?

We will compile some information about the following:

Web Filters. There are many programs out there that you can obtain which filter adult content from your browsing experience. They have been around for quite some time now and some work better than others.

Web Browsers. What we mean here are the browsers designed for children that only allow access to specific sites that are approved by the parent/guardian. There are fairly new to the picture and we’ll show you which ones work the best.

Anti Spyware and Anti Virus Software. Sometimes whispale using the internet, your computer can become exposed to viruses and Spyware that leave your system open to obtrusive advertising.

E-mail spam filters. Yes, you and your kids may even be exposed to nefarious material via e-mail spam.

We’ll do the research for you and present our findings. Tune in! and feel free to leave your comments on how you protect your children.
