AV-Comparatives: Parental Control Review 2019 – Kaspersky Safe Kids

[harlan4096]

Introduction

Amongst other things, parental control software allows parents to filter out websites that their children can see, in order to avoid the children being exposed to materials the parents consider unsuitable.

Parental Control Certification

AV-Comparatives provides certification for parental control software. In order to be certified, a product must block at least 98% of pornographic websites, have no more than a few false alarms on child-friendly websites, and have no severe unresolved bugs (or design flaws) discovered during the review. A certification is valid for one year and vendors can apply for certification once a year.

Only products which were submitted for the Parental Control Test, and which passed the test, are published. Six vendors submitted their products for certification in 2019, of which only one reached the requirements (Kaspersky Safe Kids for Windows).
