Testing of parental controls (test I)

Our test was the first in the world to check how really effective are these popular filters in protecting children from unwelcome Internet-sites. The test results must help parents to choose the best and most qualitative protection for their children familiarizing with the global network.
It is worth mentioning that we did not compare the products functions, any settings and functions availability in this test. We checked the filters performance only based on the assumption that a child has Internet access and parental control is customized in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
