Parental Controls can help

If you are a Windows 7 user one of the great tools that you have access to is Parental Controls. Parental Controls is a tool built into Windows 7 that allows you to restrict program use, monitor time online, and limit the type of content that the child can view.

Now even if you do not believe in limitations, or monitoring, one good point to think about is the program access restriction.

Approximately 2 in 5 of all major virus infections that I work on are a result of a child, spouse, or friend downloading a program that hey should not have, thus resulting in a damaged computer. With the restrictions that Parental Controls imposes this stops this issue cold.  So, even if you are weary of keeping a close watch on your child's activities, you may still want to look at restricting program access, and the ability for users other than the Administrator to install programs.
