Did you know that over 25% of 5 year olds use the internet and that over 50% of children use the internet alone and unsupervised? And that 30% of children under the age of 18 visit pornographic websites out of curiosity?

These are pretty scary statistics, and what makes them even more frightening is that online predators know these things, and they are just waiting for an innocent youngster to surf their way.....

The internet is a dangerous place for adults, and an extremely dangerous place for children. Kids cannot fully comprehend the dangers associated with visiting certain websites, clicking on hyperlinks in spam e-mails, participating in chat rooms or downloading software. Children are also naturally curious, and are easily persuaded into going to places they don't belong on the web.

Online predators are waiting to take advantage of unsuspecting children participating in forums or chat rooms. Children are more likely to download free screensavers and software that are ridden with spyware and adware, because they are lured in by "cool" advertisements and colorful pop up ads. Kids are also more likely to click on email links that take them to unsavory and unscrupulous websites.

You can control what your kids are exposed to online by using an internet security suite that includes parental controls. A product like this is absolutely necessary in this day and age, because you can’t always be there to monitor everything your child encounters while on the internet. An excellent product to consider using is Panda Platinum Internet Security.

With Panda Software’s premium internet security product, you get anti-virus protection, anti-spyware, a personal firewall to keep hackers out, privacy control (to keep your passwords and private information safe), anti phishing, anti-spam, and important Parental Control software.

The outstanding parental control software included in Panda Platinum Internet Security is an easy to use Web Content Filter which allows parents to restrict access to unsuitable websites. Panda’s web content filtering applies the filter (that you define) to every web page that your kids try to access, making unsavory websites totally inaccessable.

The filter is easily created and defined by choosing from a series of categories of types of content, allowing you to specify what kind of websites your child is not allowed to access. You can deny access to many types of websites such as online shopping, gambling, and erotic sites, and you can also create your own blacklists of individual sites you don’t want your children visiting.

Panda Platinum Internet Security is easy to install and configure, and will give you piece of mind in knowing you and your children are protected from every type of internet security threat.
