Web Control
Web Control helps you monitor and manage access to websites that users visit. You can set up Web Control settings for all user accounts on the computer.
Important: Web Control is only available if you have activated the application with a Kaspersky Small Office Security activation code. If you change the activation code, Web Control will be replaced by Parental Control (China and Japan). Parental Control has the same functionality as Web Control.
