Company's Web Filtering System Underlies New McAfee Offering
ATLANTA, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- InternetSafety.com today announced a
strategic partnership with McAfee, Inc., to supply the technology for the
just-released McAfee(R) Family Protection online safety software. McAfee
Family Protection software protects children of all ages from exposure to
inappropriate content, social networking risks, strangers and other threats.
McAfee selected InternetSafety.com as its technology partner because of its
award-winning software that is distributed in over 150 countries and its prior
experience as the technology provider for other Internet safety initiatives,
including those sponsored by government agencies in Australia and Canada.
"Increasing computer ownership among younger users, the rise of chat rooms and
the spread of social networking have increased the need for parental Internet
oversight. McAfee is proud to work with InternetSafety.com on delivering a new
Family Protection offering integrating technologies from both companies to
create the best offering in this space," said Javed Hasan, vice president of
McAfee Consumer Product Management, "With McAfee Family Protection, parents
are equipped with comprehensive, advanced and reliable tools for keeping their
children safe online."
"Most people don't realize that there are over 4 million pornography websites.
And that's only one of the challenges that families face in managing their
children's Internet access," said Forrest Collier, CEO of InternetSafety.com.
"McAfee is now offering a solution that promises to play an important role in
helping shield children from exposure to unsavory websites and a variety of
other online encounters that can undermine parents' efforts to maintain a safe
and wholesome environment."
McAfee Family Protection software is available at www.mcafee.com as a
standalone package that works with McAfee's security suites - McAfee
VirusScan(R) Plus, McAfee Internet Security and McAfee Total Protection - as
well as with security products from other vendors. For information about
