General information about parental control
Avira Premium Security Suite offers a parental control function to filter undesired or il-
legal Internet offers. You can assign different roles to different users. A user role is
configurable and contains forbidden or allowed URLs (Internet addresses) and forbid-
den content categories. Powerful URL filter lists are used to block Internet contents
according to certain categories. In these URL filter lists URLs are categorized de-
pending on the content of the websites into content groups.
The URL filer lists are updated every day, adjusted and extended. They support
European languages (English, German, French, Italian, Russian …). The roles child,
young person, adult are preconfigured with the corresponding forbidden categories.
In order to configure the parental control, you have to activate it first. If this option is
enabled, all the web pages requested by the user while navigating the Internet are
scanned on the basis of the role assigned to the registered user in the parental con-
trol function. In case of a forbidden website the website is blocked and a note ap-
pears in the browser.
