Dr.Web parental control

Any web-site can be blocked. The parental control can restrict access to a particular web-site or a web page as well as to all known sites that contain information related to certain subjects (e.g sites providing information about drugs, weapons, online games and so on). An administrator can specify a web-site he wants to block using its URL or key words found in the address. Lists from Doctor Web are used to block web-resources by subject.
