Tailor Each Child’s Profile Settings
You can tailor each child’s profile settings, from how long they spend on the computer to which sites are on or off limits.

1. In the Connection to the Web site Was Successful dialog box, choose a Windows user account on the right.
2. On the right side, click the list and choose a screen name of the child that you want to associate with. Each list displays all the screen names of the children that you added to OnlineFamily.Norton.
3. Click DONE.
