Digital Activity Monitoring

Dr.Web Family Security allows you to monitor family members' digital activities in real time. You can see which applications are being used and which websites are visited, and apply filters based on behavior. The family administrator can control all devices from a central panel. This makes it easy to track children's internet habits and restrict them if necessary. It is an ideal solution for both security and parental control.

Location Tracking and Remote Management

The software enables you to view the real-time location of family members' devices on a map. In case a device is lost, it allows you to lock it remotely, send an audible alert, or even erase the data. Designed especially for children and the elderly, this feature ensures your family's safety remotely. It is also fully compatible with Android devices.

Call and SMS Filtering

Unwanted calls and spam messages can be easily blocked using Dr.Web Family Security’s advanced call and SMS filtering feature. Blacklists and whitelists can be created to allow communication only with trusted contacts. Unknown or hidden numbers are automatically rejected. This protects family members from fraud and unwanted communication. Filter settings are managed centrally by the family administrator.

Application and Web Content Filtering

It offers detailed filtering options to prevent children or other family members from accessing harmful apps and websites. The installation and use of certain applications can be blocked. Similarly, the URL filter prevents access to gambling, adult content, or sites hosting malicious software. These controls are defined remotely by the family administrator and applied to all devices.

Screen Time and Digital Balance

Dr.Web Family Security provides screen time management to help balance the time family members spend on their devices. Usage restrictions can be set for specific hours, and daily screen time limits can be enforced. This feature helps children develop healthy digital habits. Additionally, it provides active protection against inappropriate content to ensure a safe digital environment.
