| The Adnan Patrawala case has got many parents worried about their children spending long hours on the Internet.
However, there are several Internet safety softwares available online that will help parents take control of their child's Internet access, even when they are not around.
For instance, indianchild.com is a site that works as a one-stop shop for getting all kinds of Internet filtering, Internet parental control and child protection softwares.
The site, in fact, assists the NASSCOM and Mumbai Police's cyber lab
All one needs to do is click on what one needs and it will throw up a list of sites from where anyone can learn in detail and purchase these sofwares.
Another website called cyberpatrol.com has on offer a comprehensive Internet safety software that not only filters and protects but also monitor a child's surfing habits.
It can automatically monitor Internet activity, and the log clearly shows the surfing habits of users so one can track the sites visited, the time and duration of the visit and moderate Internet access accordingly.
Similarly, other softwares like netnanny and netmop can also help parents monitor their child's Internet access.
Harmful sites and images can be blocked, peer-to peer networking, chat & instant messaging can be restricted and the time spent online and access to programs can also be limited.
Most of these softwares, like netnanny, integrate seamlessly with ''Safe Search'' options found in popular search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Dogpile, AltaVista, AllTheWeb, and MSN.
All these new softwares also give better protection against pornographic images when doing an ''image only'' search.
And even if a child attempts to turn off the safe search capability from the search engine, the softwares will turn it on in real-time as the search is occurring.
These softwares are easy to install and can be purchased online.
