CYBERsitter
More than 1.7 million people use CYBERsitter, which enables parents to
limit their children's access to objectionable material on the Internet.
Parents can choose to block, block and alert, or simply alert them when
access is attempted to these areas. Working secretly in the background,
CYBERsitter analyzes all Internet activity. Whenever it detects activity
the parent has elected to restrict, it takes over and blocks the activity
before it takes place. If desired, CYBERsitter will maintain a complete
history of all Internet activity, including attempts to access blocked
material. Password protected, CYBERsitter is easy to deactivate or
reconfigure by the parent, and virtually impossible for the child to
detect or defeat.
