Security News Parents Can End Up Installing RATs Instead Of Legitimate Parental Control Software

What I will wrote depend a lot from the age of concerned kids.
You can't put at equality government and family, children and adults : not the same conscience of things, bad / good behavior. Your kids are under your responsibility. And you can't compare all children : each child is completely different from another. Stop thinking adults and kids have the same degree of analysis from situations, degree of conscience, experience, or that "well educated" kids will do all what they parents asked them. A control parental is not a "spying to spy". But a protection to avoid very bad situation for our kids. blocking some word from search, etc...,
Example : avoid bad situations from social network with bad guys the other side...

Hmm. I´m not good enough in English to make a good response w/o risking to be misinterpreted and Google translate are not the best source at all times...
I´m just glad the world is full of different opinions! It would be boring otherwise....

Absolutely not acceptable.
Keep in mind that DarkComet for example, can be used as a remote administration console in legit mode but it is inconceivable to monitor the kids with this kind of tools.
Anyway RAT is one of the worst existing malware with advanced potential.

I must remind I voted No.
I'm just talking in the other posts about "control parental", and the facts that kids are "kids", an need to be protected, even from themselves, from internet, and that "be well educated" etc...." is not sufficient until a certain age.

Honestly those parents must be proper engage in a seminar or to inform about downloading those parental control software.

A typical idea is all about monitoring which clueless what things must be allow or deny.

However the best way for such parental control is not to use the computer for children unless necessary.
