Namesco, a leading provider of Internet solutions, has today announced the arrival of its parental control and Internet security product "SurfGuard."
SurfGuard provides a secure surfing environment for up to 3 household PCs for only £4.99 per month including VAT. This excellent software is aimed at parents who wish to protect their children from the potential dangers lurking on the Internet and provides a very simple point-and-click interface allowing easy configuration even for those with little or no technical knowledge.
SurfGuard provides in-built protection from the core threats, with options to block adult content, gambling, shopping, gaming and hate sites - all of which are updated from a huge central database. Where SurfGuard really comes into its own is the facility to monitor MSN chat conversations and create a "Buddy" list, allowing parents to specify a list of authorised chat friends for their children.
Virus Scanning and Spam filtering are included and will protect all 3 of the chosen PCs, with no additional cost, which makes the product an attractive proposition on it's own, considering the retail cost of 3 individually licensed desktop virus scanning products. The virus scanning is kept up to date from the latest threats, absolutely free of charge.
Namesco's Product Development and Marketing Manager James Griffin commented "Today, many children have advanced PC skills and excellent experience of using the Internet to communicate with friends; making it difficult for parents to provide a safe and controlled surfing environment for their children. SurfGuard provides an easy way for parents to block potential threats, without destroying the educational and entertainment benefits of the web."
In addition to blocking external threats, SurfGuard also allows parents to set privileges allowing Internet access only at certain times, generate reports on usage and sites visited, giving them complete peace of mind that they can control and monitor all web activity that takes place under their roof.
