In part three we looked at toughening up the settings in your Web browser to keep your children safer. For many of you that won't seem like enough so you may want to look at parental control products like NetNanny, CyberSitter, or CyberPatrol.

Miss Download finds software to help kids safe online. As the computer administrator, parents can choose what categories of web sites kids are not allowed to access. CyberPatrol 7.7 also allows parents to set access limits on individual accounts so the kids can't go online until after dinner, for example.
It's cruel to be kind.

Andy and Sean take a close look at online safety for kids in episode 146 of Lab Rats. The guys tackle safe searching and parental controls as well as looking at hardware and software solutions designed to keep kids safe online. Meanwhile, Miss Download takes a close look at CyberPatrol, a program designed to give parents an extra degree of control over what kids see and how long kids spend online.

Note to parents and teachers: Some of the humor in this episode is, shall we say, tongue in cheek. Be prepared to either explain or dodge questions.
