🛡️ PROTECT-CHILDREN

protect-children is a Windows-based desktop application specifically designed to help parents monitor their children's digital activities. This program focuses on monitoring text input in specific applications to ensure children's safety from inappropriate content.

✨ Key Features

• Smart Keyword Detection: Automatically detects sensitive words or adult content. Suspicious words will be highlighted in red in the log.

• Stealth Mode: Runs silently in the background without disturbing your child's activities.

• Auto-Run: Option to run the application automatically as soon as the computer is turned on.

🚀 How to Use

1. Initialization

• When you first launch the application, it will automatically create a db folder in its directory to store configurations and activity logs.
• The system will check for existing configurations; if "Monitoring Active" was previously enabled, it will resume automatically.

2. Configuration & Monitoring

• Sensor List: Enter keywords or phrases you wish to monitor in the "Sensor List" text area, separated by commas (e.g., gambling, casino).
• Start Monitoring: Click the START MONITORING button to begin tracking keyboard activity.
• Real-time Activity: The "Typing Activity" box will display your keystrokes. Any word matching your Sensor List will be highlighted in red.
• Function Keys: Common system keys like [ENTER], [CTRL], or [BACKSPACE] will be highlighted in blue for better readability.

3. System Features

• Autostart: Enable the "Autostart (On Boot)" toggle to allow the program to run automatically when Windows starts.
• Background Protection: If you try to close the window while monitoring is active, the app will hide to the background instead of exiting to ensure continuous protection.
• Single Instance: The program is designed to run only one instance at a time to prevent system conflicts.
