The problem is that these Web security tools are running on your PC, and if your child finds a way to stop them, he or she is no longer being monitored. If you decide to install one of these products, you also need to implement additional security on your PC which would prevent your child from halting the web security software. The best methods of security are implemented either on the Server, or within the Web Browser itself. Better, because they are almost impossible to circumvent.

Some browsers implement their own form of Web site security.
For example, the Microsoft Internet Explorer has a built-in ratings feature to help you control access to online material. You can find more information about this on Microsoft's Web site .
