Review by Jerome Johnston (Cybersecurity Editor)

on 16 May 2012

In many cases, safety is the main concern. The same goes for the computer world. I am talking about the fact that children, when they are left unattended, they can access numerous websites which are unsuitable for them, for example, porn sites or websites that encourage violence. That's why it's important to closely monitor the child's web navigation. Still, there are even better solutions that can prevent children from accessing dangerous websites, even when you are not around. Such an application is Weblock For Kids.

This simple Windows program allows any parent to define a list of websites that can be accessed by children. Any other webpage will not be accessible. The program is very simple to install and doesn't require reading the help file in order to use it at full scale. After launching the program, the user can access the graphical toolbar for adding websites to the program's list. Adding a new entry requires entering a name for the website, the link of the website and also a thumbnail for it. Thumbnails can either be created by capturing the site's layout or by using an image file stored on the computer.

Weblock For Kids allows adding an unlimited number of websites to its interface. After adding the desired websites, the user should configure the application. By accessing the options section, one can set Weblock For Kids to automatically start in protected mode and can also set a password, for protecting its settings. Optionally, he can set a background image by selecting one of the many images available.

Besides that, using the options window, one can add different users to the program, each having its own websites list and preferences.

Pros

It can set a predefined list of websites that can be accessed by children. Besides that, the program's settings can be protected with a password. Furthermore, each website can have a thumbnail displayed.

Cons

The program doesn't allow importing a list of websites, only adding them manually, one by one. Weblock For Kids can prevent any child from browsing to dangerous websites, by building up predefined lists of websites that can be accessed.
