How do I enable/disable a Parental control user account?

KB Solution ID: SOLN2804|Last Revised: January 22, 2013

Issue

  • Enable / disable a Parental control account

Warning:

Disabling a Parental control account disables all web content filtering settings, parental control configurations and any web pages you have blocked or allowed access to for that account.

Important!

Before configuring ESET Parental control, you need to set up Windows user accounts for each person accessing the computer. Without completing this important step, Parental control is ineffective in shielding children from inappropriate web content. For information on setting up Windows user accounts, click the appropriate link below: 

Solution

  1. Open ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus. How do I open my ESET product?
