Microsoft Family Features

 Features :

  • Web Filtering – Family Safety has a Windows Filtering Platform

driver to filter web browsing. This works on all browsers, filters in 18 different languages, and contains the following levels:

  • Allow List Only – Only allows websites that a parent has added to

the Allow list. This feature is not included with the Windows 10 version of Family Safety.

  • Child-Friendly Sites – Above plus allows a list of websites designed

for children has a listing of the more popular kid sites and allows the user to search the entire list of kid sites.

  • General Interest – Blocks social networking, web mail, web chat, and adult sites.
  • Online Communications – Blocks sites like Facebook and other potentially unsuitable social networks
  • Warn on adult content – Allows all websites but warns when the site

contains suspected adult material. This setting was designed for older children who are trusted to make good decisions when the web filter incorrectly categorizes a site.

  • Activity Reporting – Parents can obtain a list of the websites

visited. In addition, computer usages time, programs run, files downloaded, and games run will be reported via Windows Parental Controls.

  • Enforce the adult filter of Google, Bing, Yahoo!, and other popular search engines. For Google, this means locking Safesearch.
  • Control of Family Safety settings to set time limits, and game restrictions ala ESRB as well as general application restrictions.
  • Family Safety allows remote access to its features via the web

interface. Windows Live Family Safety 2011 added support for using the web filtering/blocking controls without the child having a Windows Live ID.

  • Contact Management – Parents are able to create "allow" lists for Windows Live Contacts services such as Windows Live Messenger and Hotmail

to help prevent their children from communicating with unknown contacts and instead only communicate with contacts that parents have approved. Alternatively, parents can just monitor who the child has on their allow list. This was added for Windows Live Messenger 8.5.

  • Family Safety blocks InPrivate browsing in Internet Explorer 8 and 9.
  • Image Filtering – Family Safety has a filter which looks for adult

content in images. The filter is only run on websites which do not do an adequate job of filtering the images and only on computers with sufficient performance capabilities. When an image is blocked, Family Safety blurs it out.
