Tips on protecting children from internet abuse

As parent first of all stay behind of your child what she i s doing when using the internet. Make her to understand that the internet has both good and bad sides and specially make her to understand if you get into bad side it will completely affect her life.

In technology side you can use a proxy server to avoid visiting unsuitable web sites. Use a genuine Internet security software too. strong Internet security  If she is  using a social network services ask her to stay connect with only the "people that se knows". That will help her a lot not being bullied by any one. hope this will help you alot

Tips on protecting children from internet abuse

If you have kids and you want to block certain websites from accidentally getting accessed, there are different ways to do it. First option is the “hosts” file located on the system drive. To try this, open Windows Explorer then navigate to “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc”. Here, right-click the “hosts” file and select “Open”. In the “Open with” dialog, select “Notepad” or any text editor application you have.

Once the file is opened, scroll to the bottom of the page and enter this string:

• 127.0.0.1 bandicam.com

Replace without quotes “bandicam.com” with the site’s address that you want to block. If you want to block multiple websites, enter the address or domain name in separate lines:

• 127.0.0.1 bandicam.com
• 127.0.0.1 bandisoft.com

Save and close the file then restart the computer. This should block the website on the computer. Another way is to use or install a firewall.
