Family Safety and Internet Explorer work great together because their always-evolving security features help me guard against these new hacker tactics. And if the kids try to do an end-run around mom and check out other sites, I know right away with activity reports.īut even with all this great defensive planning, there are hackers out there working just as hard to find new ways to do their own end-run. Fortunately, Windows Live Family Safety lets me block the sites I know are dangerous for them and allow the ones I know they like and are safe. The kids learn about geodes and where Dora lost her friendship bracelet, while I learn about malware and phishing. The web has been a real learning experience for my family. That’s one less thing to do, and when you have a family to take care of, you have more than enough to do!
How does all this locking and switching work with Family Safety? Great! When you switch to a different Windows account, you are still signed in to the Family Safety Filter, no more signing in and out.
