Intego ContentBarrier, comprehensive parental control software for Mac (Part I)

ContentBarrier is a parental control program for the Macintosh, providing functions for parents and businesses. It is designed to filter and block certain Internet content according to the settings you choose. ContentBarrier blocks adult web sites, sites with subjects not fit for children, and blocks chats when predatory language is used. It also blocks certain protocols, or types of Internet communication, that you may not want your children to use, such as peer-to-peer and other file sharing protocols, online games, streaming audio and video, FTP, SSH and more.

ContentBarrier works with multiple users, and interfaces seamlessly with the Mac OS X user accounts on your computer. If you have several children, you can set different limitations corresponding to their age or maturity. You can choose whether they have access to newsgroups, e-mail, or whether they can download files. You can set the program to let them only use the Internet at certain times, and on certain days. You can choose to block or allow specific web sites, allow users only to use selected applications, and block access to specific types of content, such as streaming media or peer-to-peer file transfers. The program can even send you e-mail, automatically, when certain events occur. And you can view logs and manage some of ContentBarrier s settings over the Internet, using any web browser.

ContentBarrier sets up a protective wall around your computer. Its pre-defined filters let you choose what you dont want your children to see, and you can create your own custom filters as well. Inappropriate web sites are blocked, shielding your children from content they are too young for. Additional filters block content by program type, such as chats, newsgroups and more.

ContentBarrier is available from Internet Security Barrier X6

"Protect your kids from the dangers of the internet"

lol this is funny

[cooldan11]

well maybe if you tought them right from wrong then you wouldnt have to incade there privacy parental controls and kidtrackers and internet blocks are for lazy parent who dont care about talking to there kids about whats wrong and whats right

[CipherMind117]

Well, I would say this.

If you suspect your kids are

1) Failing in School

2) Involved with dangerous substances or people

3) Putting themselves or others at risk

then they should not have their privacy invaded.

[cooldan11]

i personally think that this spying and blocking stuff is just wrong parents shouldnt invade there kids privacy i would never do that to my kids i have a 13 year old boy and i know he probabley watches porn on the computer just like most teen kids but i dont mind becouse its normal for them to want to watch porn and even if i do block it kids will find a way to get past itand i trust my kids couse i taught them well to not talk to strangers online and etc

[barracuda546]

I think it is more for stupid kids like 12 year olds who use myspace and stuff ya know

[CipherMind117]

well, this is all well and good, but if my parents use this on me, I'll use ubuntu, or another distro of linux. I'm 15, but I'm really good with computers, unlike this "Vista Expert" who only knows how to use basic Windows functions. These people are stupid. And with the games, just use wine, or enter the command prompt and give root access, or format the windows partition. They can find a way, because I did.
