19.2. Monitoring Children Activity
BitDefender helps you keep track of what your children are doing on the computer
even when you are away.
By default, when Parental Control is enabled, your children's activities are logged.
In this way, you can always find out exactly what websites they have visited, what
applications they have used, what activities have been blocked by Parental Control
etc.
You can also configure BitDefender to send you e-mail notifications when Parental
Control blocks an activity.
