Parental Control

Top  Previous  Next

With Parental control, the Dr.Web account owner can configure access setting for another device user. The Dr.Web account owner can restrict access to any application installed on the device and to the Dr.Web component settings.

Note that Parental Control restricts the usage of a finger print instead of the Dr.Web account password, except when your device is locked.

Enabling Parental Control

To enable Parental control:

1.Enter your Dr.Web account password. If Dr.Web account is not configured on your device yet, you will be prompted to create it. If you enter an incorrect password 10 times in a row, the password field will be temporarily blocked. You will see how much time left until the next attempt.

2.Tap Enable.

Configuring Parental control

Applications

To allow access to an application, clear the check box next to the application in the Parental control settings.

URL Filter

Call and SMS Filter

Dr.Web Settings
