Safe Eyes 6 Adds New Protections for Children Online, Including Industry-First Ratings-Based Internet TV Content Filter Major Upgrade to Leading Family Internet Manager. Recommended by Whom You Know

InternetSafety.com announced Safe Eyes® 6, a major upgrade to its award-winning family Internet management software that includes an industry-first Internet TV content filter enabling parents to restrict children’s access to inappropriate online TV shows and movies based on standard TV and movie ratings. Parents will be able to block children’s access to explicit music lyrics, enforce tamper-proof safe search on major search engines, receive daily or weekly reports on children’s online activities by email, and use a new easy setup wizard to quickly tailor settings to each child.

These new features will enhance Safe Eyes’ established tools for safeguarding and managing children’s Internet usage. The software also automatically blocks objectionable websites in a choice of 35 categories as well as by user-defined URLs and/or keywords to shield children from undesirable online content; provides instant messaging controls, email blocking and social network monitoring to protect against risky online communications; and allows parents to schedule Internet usage in order to manage the time that their family spends online.

Safe Eyes 6 adds:

Internet TV filtering on Hulu, iTunes and major TV network websites including ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox, based on the ratings level that parents deem appropriate for their children. Parents can set the software to limit content by user to TV-G and G-rated, TV-PG and PG-rated, TV-14 and PG-13-rated, or TV-MA and R-rated TV shows and movies. No other family Internet manager has these filtering capabilities.

Blocking the viewing or purchase of songs with explicit lyrics on iTunes by selecting the appropriate setting on the setup page.

Stronger protection against objectionable search results, with the ability to enable safe search features on popular sites such as Google, Yahoo, Bing and YouTube from Safe Eyes and thereby prevent children from disabling the safe search setting.

Easy-to-understand daily or weekly activity reports sent by email, offering an at-a-glance overview of each user’s top search terms, most visited websites, blocked websites and programs, personal information posted online, and time-of-day Web usage patterns.

Easy setup wizard giving parents the option to copy settings from one child to another, utilize InternetSafety.com’s suggested settings based on age, or customize user settings for each activity (websites, videos, music, instant messaging, games, social networking and email) from dropdown menus.

“There is a major disconnect in managing children’s media activities today. You can have parental controls on a TV that prevent children from watching a show that you consider objectionable, but the child can watch the same show on the family computer. One of our primary goals in Safe Eyes 6 was to remedy that problem,” said InternetSafety CEO Forrest Collier. “At the same time, we have added other new protections, simplified setup, and equipped parents with more meaningful reports that keep them informed and aware of their family’s Internet activities.”

Safe Eyes 6 will be available for download at www.safeeyes.com A one-year $49.95 subscription will cover up to three PCs with the ability to customize settings for each child. An advance demo can be seen at the InternetSafety.com booth (#3128) in the Living in Digital Times area at the 2010 International CES conference that opens today in Las Vegas.

Whom You Know's Petite Peachy Panel put this to the test, and here is what they thought:

At first I hesitated and relented to open my Safe Eyes Parental Control software... but actually was pleasantly surprised to find how user-friendly it was. They have a quick start installation instruction guide with 6 simple steps and an activation code; I obviously could handle creating a username, I mean this is for the safety of my children and I know how to access the internet, so I did it on my Home Mac computer and it was up and running in no time....what a relief.

My son is at an age where he spends a good amount of his free time on the web and while I trust him there are those "objectionable" websites that he will not have access to thanks to the SAFE EYES parental control software!

The lists of benefits range from web blocking, time limits (this one is a huge factor in my home) and safe eyes makes it easier for me to end the plea of "please, just"... thank you SAFE EYES!

Also, it will block or monitor instant messaging against predators...it has email blocking and records social networking (when inappropriate or personal information is given or posted.)

Safe eyes also blocks games or programs that you deem unfavorable. It has great usage reporting and views all internet and messaging activity. SAFE EYES also gives you the peace of mind and will send instant alerts when questionable emails or materials are attempted to be sent.

Parents have peace of mind while letting their child have the freedom to surf the web and know they are protected. I also feel that safe eyes would be great in all schools that have the world wide web access. You can never be too safe. Thank you for allowing me the installation to feel safe with my son who is very curious. I highly recommend this to all parents whose children are in the discovery age.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
