13. Parental Control

13.1. How do I protect my children from online threats?

Bitdefender Parental Control allows you to restrict access to Internet and to specific

applications, preventing your children from viewing inappropriate content whenever

you are not around.

To configure the Parental Control, follow these steps:

1. Create limited (standard) Windows user accounts for your children to use. For

more information, please refer to “How do I create Windows user accounts?” (p.

50).

2. Make sure you are logged on to the computer with an administrator account.

Only users with administrative rights on the system (system administrators) can

access and configure Parental Control.

3. Configure Parental Control for the Windows user accounts your children use.

a. Open the Bitdefender window.

b. Click the MyBitdefender button at the top of the window and select Parental

Control from the drop-down menu.

c. The Parental Control dashboard will open in a new window. This is where you

can check and configure the Parental Control settings.

d. Click Add child on the left-side menu.

e. Enter the name and age of the child in the Profile tab. Setting the age of the

child will automatically load settings considered appropriate for that age

category, based on child development standards.

Check your children's activities and change the Parental Control settings using

MyBitdefender from any computer or mobile device connected to the Internet.

For detailed information on using Parental Control, please refer to “Parental Control”

(p. 115).

13.2. How do I restrict the Internet access for my child?

Bitdefender Parental Control enables you to control the Internet usage for your

children even when you are not at home.
