When you customize the settings for each of your children, you‟ll even get an activity report that informs you how your children have been using the PC and what Web sites they have visited. And with the ability to view reports or modify settings remotely, you can keep tabs on your kids no matter where you are. Parental controls help you manage what your children can do on your PC.



Games have ratings like
  •  Early Childhood
  •  Everyone
  •  Everyone 10+
  •  Teen
  •  Mature
  •  Adults only
These ratings are used to decide which games a particular user can play.




Also it can be decided which programs a User can use.
Although it won‟t make any much difference, for parents who have Geek Children. So as we say no donut for you this time for few parents.
