K9 Web Protection to Control Internet Activity

I switched on my laptop to pay my credit card bill. The firefox opened saved tabs of my last internet session- gmail, facebok and twitter. The new internet session started. Twitter and the tweets that contained tiny links made me landed up in various sites and pages. Then facebook, many friends, many activites, a number of photos took much of my time. Then chatting with friends in gtalk made it 12.30 in the night. I had forgotten why I was online. I remembered I had to pay the bill when I received reminder message from my old bank. Then I thought of having some kind of controlling software in my laptop to control my internet activity. Now I have k9 web protection software which is a good parental lock kind of system which gives you full control to your activities on the web.

Now I have allowed the social networks not more than one hour a day. No browsing allowed after 11PM to 7AM in the morning. By default it will not allow any porn or adult site until unless you put the administrative password to change the settings. There are number of website categories which you can block all the time or restrict the usage. You can allow facebook like social networks for just one hour or even just fifteen minutes. Emails, humors/jokes, trading anything can be given controlled access. Anyone who has feelings of some kind of websites wasting his/her time can have great advantage using this software.

The K9 protection has a wonderful database that during my test it never slipped out of protection. The most advantageous matter is K9 home edition is free of cost and anybody can use it in there system after getting free license which will be sent to your mail ID.

If you have children using internet at your house, I strongly recommend this software. Because according to the data provided in the K9 website-
  • 1 in 4 youth have unwanted exposure to inappropriate pictures each year
  • Nine of 10 kids aged 8-16 have viewed pornography on the Internet, often in the process of doing homework.
  • One in five children ages 10-17 have received a sexual solicitation over the Internet
  • 74 percent of commercial pornography sites display free porn images on the homepage and are linked through some other sites.
  • Cyber-sex reinforces and normalizes sexual disorders.
At the time of writing this 2,262,007 homes are protected including mine.
