#1 Rated Safe Eyes Introduces New Advances in Internet Security

ATLANTA, June 2007 - America's best Internet safety solution just got even better. Safe Eyes, recipient of PC Magazine Editors' Choice Award and the #1 rated Internet safety software by America’s leading consumer agency publication, has launched its most advanced version to date, Safe Eyes 5.0. The new software provides families with a personalized Internet experience based on the age, abilities, homework, and even bedtime of their children.

"Parents are looking for Internet safety software that works and that's easy to use," said Safe Eyes CEO Forrest Collier. "Safe Eyes 5.0 works out of the box exactly like most parents want it to, but it is also easily customizable to fit an individual family's needs."

Safe Eyes 5.0 offers expanded Internet monitoring features, more comprehensive reporting, and an easy-to-use control panel. Among the software's new features are:

Email Blocking - Send and receive e-mail only from parent-approved email addresses and block access to web-based e-mail services. This prevents children from using un-approved - or "secret" - email addresses

Social Networking - Monitor, track, and record personal information - street address, phone numbers, school name, and more - that a child posts on sites like MySpace and Facebook. Safe Eyes can also record web posts that contain profanity or sexually suggestive terms

Instant Messaging - Block all of it, some of it, or none of it - then monitor, track, and record it. Keeping up with IM conversations is now "NBD" (No Big Deal)

The software continues to offer its trusted features such as:

Time Limits - Limit time spent online, allocate specific blocks of time for Internet access, and/or grant permission to connect by day-of-the week

Remote Monitoring - Usage reports can be stored on the computer or on the secure Safe Eyes server, providing remote monitoring capabilities from anywhere in the world at any time

The Safe Eyes user interface received a complete overhaul as part of the software's latest upgrades. For CEO Collier, the changes are all about making Safe Eyes the easiest-to-use, most effective Internet safety solution in the marketplace. "Computer-phobic to Internet-savvy parents will appreciate Safe Eyes' user-friendly control panel and easy-to-understand reports," said Collier. "We want to make it as simple as possible for families to stay safe online."

Safe Eyes provides online protection for PCs and Macs at home and at work. The patent-pending technology moves online protection beyond simple Internet monitoring to give families access to all the benefits of the Internet with none of the worry (SafeBrowse.com).
