Parental Control in June

Do you know that U.S. Senate declared June to be Internet Safety Month? It is great news for everyone seeking security online.

It would be a good idea to set up a filter that would block or even scare a potential criminal away before he or she contacts a child.

Bsafe offers 40% discount for their "PredAlert" on condition that a buyer uses promotional code SAFETY. "PredAlert" monitors instant message Web sites and chat rooms, recording all the conversations. The software notifies anyone who contacts a child that they are being monitored and recorded as well, usually scaring away any potential predators. The identity protection feature also can limit or block personal information from being transmitted over the internet.

This is not the only filter parents can use to protect their children online, but the main idea is to make use of security software that averts children from viewing pornography or other inappropriate sites on the Web.
