Parental Control

The Parental Control component allows you to manage the access to websites, files, and folders. You can also set time limits on internet and computer usage.

By default, Parental Control is enabled for each account and operates in the No restrictions mode.

Depending on settings of your provider, the name of this component can be displayed as Office Control.

2.In the open window, click Parental Control tile. The Parental Control window opens.

3.Make sure Dr.Web operates in administrator mode (the lock at the bottom of the program window is open

). Otherwise, click the lock

4.Enable or disable Parental Control for the required user using a corresponding switcher

New users are listed only after the first login into their account.

Depending on settings of your provider, the switcher can enable or disable Office control for all the users at the same time.

Before setting restrictions for a user, make sure that this user does not have administrative privileges. Otherwise, the user could change the Parental Control component parameters and disable the access restrictions.

The component parameters can be adjusted if the provider enables this option.

Possibility to manage settings for different users can be disabled by your provider. In this case, all specified parameters are applied to all the users of the computer.
