Finally, the "key word" methods used by software like this almost always wound up not only letting the bad sites through, but blocking legitimate destinations. Secondly, the programs' databases had difficulty keeping up with all the new "inappropriate" websites that were popping up every day. Firstly, these programs tended to be difficult to set up, and if you have to get your child to assist you in installing net filtering software, the battle is essentially over. However, such software quickly fell out of favor. With the rise in popularity of the WWW after the first release of Netscape in 1994, the concept of an unrestricted place where anyone could post any kind of text and pictures they liked raised the inevitable cries of "think of the children!" Programs such as Net Nanny quickly arose that promised to shield children from all the nasty things that were lurking on the Internet. The idea of "child-proofing" the Internet is nearly as old as the web itself. Microsoft is preparing a public beta test program for its new set of parental controls, called "Windows Live Family Safety Settings." The controls will allow parents to monitor their children's web surfing activity and block access to "inappropriate" web sites.
