/High Tech - Internet News Articles/ - NEW YORK, NY, March 21, 2007 - KidsWatch, a provider of computer and Internet safety tools for the entire family, announces that the newest version of their award winning product is now available. This product is designed to offer parents a complete and easy-to-use program to manage and regulate the amount of time their children spend on the computer, prevent access to inappropriate web content, protect against predators and monitor computer activity.

"Anticipating changing technology is a given in this business," said Larry Zarou, founder of KidsWatch and designer of the software. "What's unique about this version is that our product is not only fully compatible with Windows Vista, it offers several new features -- the most compelling of which is the predator alert feature in which a parent is emailed whenever a known sex offender moves into their area. Protecting our children in as many ways as possible is imperative in today's society, and remains the primary goal of KidsWatch."

KidsWatch parental control software provides parents with the best online protection and control they can find. This software package allows parents to regulate computer use according to the age and maturity of each child in an easily understandable manner. Features include the ability to:
* Limit online messaging, Internet surfing, chatting and game playing to a time and duration appropriate for each child;
* Filter the websites your children can gain access to;
* Provide frequent activity reports to be emailed to parents listing the websites their children visited, the programs they used and when they were active on the computer;
* Automatically log a child out of their computer when it's time for lights out;
* Block younger siblings from gaining access to the internet;
* Block unwanted software from being installed;
* Allow your children to extend any of their restrictions for a special homework assignment with temporary one-time use passwords;
* Remotely extend, reduce, lock, bypass and reinstate restrictions from any PC on your home network;
* Control every aspect of Windows.

The latest version of this product, which is compatible with Windows Vista, offers all of these traditional family-friendly options along with our latest feature: email alerts when sex offenders move into your neighborhood.

"My decision to create KidsWatch grew out of personal experience. Years of standing by and watching my children spend more and more time on the computer was no longer acceptable," said Mr. Zarou. "Aside from the fact that our children are becoming more sedentary and losing socialization skills, a more dangerous side effect of computer usage today is the presence of online predators and the exposure of our children to harmful information."

KidsWatch parental control software gives parents the security they are looking for in the constantly changing and frequently dangerous world of the internet.
