Parental Controls for Yahoo!

Parent Tools for Yahoo! comes loaded with powerful tools to monitor all chat and instant message conversations from any screen name on your computer. All the conversations are saved, hidden, compressed, and encrypted for maximum security. In other words, nobody searching the hard drive will ever stumble across the saved logs. They are only accessible after signing into the Parent Tools for Yahoo! Messenger program.

Parent Tools for Yahoo! will save all cell phone text messages that take place in the Yahoo! Messenger service.

This program can be hidden. Simply by checking a box you can remove the Parent Tools for Yahoo! Messenger icons while the program is running and hide it from all visibility.

This feature allows you to set time limits for all screen names or create different limits for each different screen name on your computer. Users can receive optional 5 minute and 1 minute warnings before they are signed off of Yahoo! Messenger. These limits can be adjusted at your discretion.

Create schedules for all screen names so they can only sign on at your specified times. If users try to access Yahoo! Messenger during a restricted time they will receive an optional pop up informing them that they don’t have access at that time.

This feature enables you to block any screen name from contacting anyone using Yahoo! Messenger on your computer. It stops IMs from being sent to or received from disabled names by immediately closing the screen.

Block out chat rooms containing objectionable words or phrases. When a user tried to access a blocked chat room it will immediately close and they will receive an optional pop up stating that access to that chat room has been disabled.

With this tool you have the ability to disable the webcam feature, incoming and outgoing chat invitations, Yahoo! Games, and the IM Talk features built into Yahoo! Messenger. When an attempt is made to use any of these features an optional pop up is shown informing the users of their limited access.

No need to worry, Parent Tools has several safeguards to hinder anyone attempting to shut off the software without a password. This comes built in, so there’s no set up required.

The process is simplified with our helpful set-up wizard. You’ll be up and running with no hassle or stress in a matter of minutes!

The control panel window has a help button on the top, left portion of the screen. If you’re ever confused about any of the Parent Tools features you don’t need to write in to tech support.
