That’s where F-Secure and Virgin Media can help. F-Secure’s “Family Rules” feature, part of the F-Secure SAFE internet security product, is designed to help both you and your child understand and identify these issues and set parameters.

How F-Secure can help

It’s simple really. When you’re installing F-Secure SAFE onto your kids’ devices, Family Rules helps you to walk through and explain the dangers your child may encounter on the web and in their apps, and advises on how to avoid them.

Family Rules also provides a set of tools to help manage your kids’ screen time, filter content to prevent them from accessing undesirable websites, and even locate their mobile devices remotely – a handy feature for us all really!
 

What you can do 

Keeping up with developments in technology is key to staying on top of your child’s online activity. And nothing beats first-hand experience. If your children use social media platforms to communicate, consider familiarising yourself with the platforms and the kind of activity they facilitate by creating a personal profile.

You don’t need to become an expert, but a deeper level of knowledge and experience will go a long way towards helping them stay safe online, and help aid any conversations on the matter between yourself and your child.
