A survey commissioned by ESET showed that 88% of parents are worried about what their children can access online. In that survey, 81% of parents said that they were troubled by the idea of their child visiting inappropriate web pages; 71% mentioned their children forwarding personal details to strangers; while 61% highlighted excessive amounts of time spent on devices.&nbsp;<br><br>Despite parents\u2019 fears, only few of them have installed a parental control app to help manage their children\u2019s online experiences, the survey revealed. &nbsp;<br><br>Children are increasingly moving from PCs to mobile devices in order to access the internet. Statistics show that Facebook alone has 1 billion active users a month connecting via mobile devices. &nbsp;And with children, the dominant mobile platform is Android. Gartner forecasts that there will be 1.6 billion Android devices worldwide in 2017 and they are attractive for children due to their lower cost in comparison with other products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ESET Parental Control for Android app is the answer to parents\u2019 worries. It enables them to be sure that children of all ages can enjoy the wealth of information and entertainment available online without the fear of online threats. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cESET Parental Control app for Android safeguards children on smart devices by giving them protection and user experience, without limiting performance,\u201d says Branislav Orlik, Product Manager at ESET.<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eset.hk\/home\/parental-control-android\/\">ESET Parental Control for Android<\/a>&nbsp;is a child-friendly family protection system which helps parents to build a respectful relationship with their children who use their own smartphones or tablets.

Additional categories or specific websites can be added too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Child Locator:&nbsp;<\/strong>allows parents to request the current location of child device at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parental message:&nbsp;<\/strong>SMS sent from predefined parent numbers will lock the screen of the child\u2019s phone until a read-confirmation button is pressed by the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reports for Parents:&nbsp;<\/strong>detailed reports on app and web page usage. Reports are available to view at any time using parent mode in app; or via my.eset.com or can be sent regularly to parents&#8217; email addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app contains an added option for children to ask their parents for special permission to access certain apps or web content, or ask for extra gaming or browsing time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br>\u201cThese features make ESET Parental Control a unique application for the Android platform,\u201d concludes Orlik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ESET Parental Control for Android is available from the Google Play Store, at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/my.eset.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">my.eset.com<\/a>&nbsp;portal or via ESET\u2019s partners.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About ESET<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ESET, the pioneer of proactive protection and the maker of the award-winning NOD32 technology which is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2012, is a global provider of security solutions for businesses and consumers.
