Symantec unveils beta parental

After Norton unveiled Online Backup, a backup line for the general
public (see our brief Symantec launches an online backup), Symantec
offers another online service, this time in public beta. Norton Family
Online is a parental control service based on web and download a
client on Windows or Mac OS X. The service that we could not test
completely because they can connect to server Symantec allows, after
having established a parental account and accounts for their children,
monitor the Internet activity of the latter, including sites they
visited, searches they have undertaken (including compatible with
Google, YouTube and Wikipedia), instant messages they have sent or
their activity on social networks.

Other features include the ability to define a limited number of hours
of connection, or to filter certain categories of sites like most
parental control solutions available. The side of the child, he can
send petitions to parents, for example to access a particular site or
request more hours of connection. Norton Family Online is currently
available in public beta, and only in English.
