Kaspersky PURE: My Parental Control

Using the My Parental Control functional module from Kaspersky PURE you can set restrictions on certain web resources access depending on their content. You can block access to all web sites not included into the Allowed list, or you can block access to web sites by categories, for example, you can block access to web sites containing information concerning weapons or violance.

Also you can configure access to web sites more detailedly using the lists Allowed URL and Blocked URL. For example, you can add a web address, which is not included into categories of web sites access to which is blocked, to the list of Blocked URL.

If the Control access to web sites option is enabled, you can view web sites access statistics for each user account on the selected computer.

In order to control and limit the access to web sites corresponding on their content for the required user account, perform the following actions:

In order to do so, go to the Allowed URL tab, click the Add link and then enter the required address, for example, http://www.site.com/*, in the entry field of the Address mask (URL) window. The asterisk (*) means any sequence of symbols. To save the address, click the OK button

In order to do so, go to the Blocked URL tab, click the Add link and then enter the required address, for example, http://www.site.com/*, in the entry field of the Address mask (URL) window.

If a web address, which you want to add to the Allowed URL or Blocked URL lists, contains the symbols *, ?, \, then you are required to use the symbol \ to override the asterisk (*), question mark (?) or backslash (\) following it. For example, you want to add the following URL www.site?anti-virus, then you have to enter the \ symbol before ?; the web address will look in the following way www.site\?anti-virus.
