Protecting your children

If your children use your computer, you can use Parental
Controls to help regulate what each child can see and do when
browsing the Web. For example, you can enable or disable
age-appropriate searching and image filtering, choose a content
rating group, and set Web browsing time limits.
Age-appropriate searching makes sure that the safety filters of
some popular search engines are enabled so that potentially
inappropriate items are automatically excluded from your child's
search results; image filtering blocks potentially inappropriate
images from displaying when a child browses the Web; the
content rating group determines the kind of Web content that is
accessible to a child, based on the child's age group; and Web
browsing time limits define the days and times a child can access
the Web. You can also filter (block or allow) certain Web sites for
all children.
Note: To configure Parental Controls to protect your children,
you must log into your computer as a Windows administrator. If
you upgraded from an older version of this McAfee product and
are still using McAfee users, you must also make sure you're
logged in as a McAfee administrator.
