As per the summer 2013 survey carried out by B2B International and Kaspersky Lab, almost 1 in 5 parents have lost either money or important personal data due to their children unmonitored computer use.
The survey found that about 27% of parents feared their children had been at risk on the Internet at least once over the last 12 months. About 11% of those surveyed reported that children had faced inappropriate content and 7% of the respondents had evidence that their offspring had contacts with strangers.
About 10% of the respondents reported that their children had accidentally removed important data from their PCs and 5% of children had inadvertently shared this data with others. These results show that children and their parents face serious risks on the Internet, and prove that special measures are needed to avoid them.
Parents are usually busy at work or at home so they can hardly keep track of everything that their child is doing on the Internet. However, any parent can delegate this task to reliable technology that will protect the child against all Internet threats. Parental Control, incorporated in Kaspersky Internet Security for Windows and Kaspersky Internet Security for Mac, includes the necessary technologies.
Kaspersky Internet Security and Kaspersky Internet Security for Mac are also available as part of Kaspersky Internet Security Multi-Device, a comprehensive security solution developed to protect devices working on different operating systems Windows, OS X and Android.
