Needless to say how useful and important Internet is for our children. They use Internet for leisure and studies, for research and communication. But Internet is also a place where tones of dirty information such as porn and cruelty are piled. It is also a place where strange and unwanted people can be met. Pedophiles and maniacs no longer use dark streets and alleys but exploit boundaries-free cyber space. And this is really something to be worry about.



"You should be participating in your children internet activity in order to feel save. Share an e-mail account, bookmark your child's favorite sites for easy access, spend some time online together so you can teach him how to behave himself online. It is also useful to set up some simple rules such as: do not reveal personal information, such as address, phone number or school name or location, never agree to meet someone they met online in person or simply forbid your child entering private chatrooms or specific sites," says Max Galitsyn the president of software development company MG WAY CORP.

"But there is always a risk that children especially teens will try to bind the rules or an unpredicted situation will occur. That's why I advise you to use a special monitoring software such as MG-Shadow which can be easily installed on your computer and is a very efficient tool on watching what someone does on PC ," adds Mr. Galitsyn.

Sometime you can notice that your child is too secretive and you worry that something wrong is going on. What if he is under bad influence? What if he has made some mistakes and tries to find the way out but in vain and it makes the situation even worth. With the help of spy/monitoring software you can easily find out what he does when he is on his own, what websites he visits, what people he communicates with, what is in reality going on with the process "school home work". And you can always act immediately if there is something to worry about. With the help of built-in content filters you can control and block visiting illegal or immoral web resources. This will allow you to be one step ahead in educational matters or just keep you informed when it is time for a serious talk.

With the help of spy/monitoring software you can invisibly penetrate into your child's world to see his problems, understand his interests, his intentions and even thoughts. With such kind of information you will be able to easily communicate and build a bridge between you and your child. And this will look like not a total control but like your own good initiative. Knowing the rules of his game you can become his team member and that will make you both closer to each other.

Already more then 54% of American families use different programs for monitoring computer activity of their children online. There is a wide range of products on the market right now. Software of such a kind usually monitors all information about users, programs launched and applications ran, windows opened, keystrokes typed, internet connections created, sent and received e-mails, all chat conversations and instant messengers such as ICQ, AIM or MSN and so on.

Even though Internet is a virtual reality it can cause real troubles and requires our direct actions. Monitoring software such as MG-Shadow will help you to deal with cyber dangers by the same powerful means.
