'Safe Eyes' Software Recommended to Block Internet Pornography by National
Coalition for the Protection of Children & Families







ATLANTA, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- InternetSafety.com announced today that its
Safe Eyes family filtering software has earned a recommendation from the
National Coalition for the Protection of Children & Families (NCPCF), an
organization that focuses on safeguarding children and preserving marriages by
counteracting the sexualized messages in today's culture. NCPCF is promoting
Safe Eyes to its constituency through a variety of channels, including its
website at http://nationalcoalition.org.


The National Coalition evaluated multiple software packages to determine the
best tools on the market to prevent exposure to pornography and other
objectionable Internet content. Safe Eyes emerged as a top choice because of
its comprehensive feature set, multiple awards, and ability to control
Internet access on multiple devices ranging from PCs and Macs to the Apple
iPhone.


Safe Eyes' advanced Internet filtering capability supports the National
Coalition's core campaign against harmful sexual material. The software also
complements NCPCF's iCare prayer movement designed to rally women to take
action against negative influences on the nation's youth, and Married4Ever, an
initiative to train pastors and lay leaders to help build stronger marriages
through strategies such as premarital mentoring and programs for blended
families.


"Our mission is to help Christians live sexually pure lives. In today's
society, you can't do that without taking steps to block inadvertent or
deliberate access to sexual content on the Internet," said Rick Schatz,
president and CEO of NCPCF. "Safe Eyes offers a strong toolset to shield
children from sexually oriented websites as well as to help adults resist the
temptations of pornography."


The Safe Eyes platform automatically blocks objectionable websites in a choice
of 35 categories - including pornography, sex and nudity - as well as by
user-specified URLs and/or keywords. It also provides a comprehensive suite of
other Internet control options for parents, including instant messaging
controls, time limits, email blocking and social network monitoring.


In addition, the software enables 'accountability partners' such as a spouse,
friend, pastor or mentor to block Internet access altogether at specific times
such as the highly vulnerable after-midnight hours, check online usage logs of
the user's web activity, and receive alerts by phone, text, or email when
users attempt to bypass the filter.


Safe Eyes costs $49.95 for an annual subscription covering up to three Mac
and/or PC computers at www.internetsafety.com. Safe Eyes Mobile, the first
filtering-enabled Internet browser for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, costs
$19.99 at the iPhone App Store.
