Our programs are distributed as "shareware". The very concept of shareware distribution is to provide you with software so you can "try before you buy", and the effort of its developers will be rewarded, too. When you think about it, the opportunity to try before you buy is the ultimate guarantee that the product will be useful and of high quality. When you support a shareware distributor, you support this very concept. Thank you for understanding it.

Kids often start using the Internet at about the same age they go to primary school, or perhaps a bit later. It's the best time to tutor your child how to avoid various online dangers - don't rely only on software in such a delicate thing as child protection.

Kids and young teens can freely access the Internet from computers at school, at their friends' homes and in public places such as libraries and even from cell phones and video game consoles. Internet is everywhere, that is why kids and teenagers (and their parents, too) should be well aware of its perils and know how to avoid them. It is up to parents and teachers to tutor, help, and prevent.

Even before your kid reaches his teens, he or she will be actively mixing with other kids in chat rooms and probably will start a blog as well. It is YOU who must warn your son or daughter about the risk of posting private information for everybody (both good and bad people) to read. What kids and teens say in chat rooms, whom they communicate with and what they post on web logs and other public Internet places can get them into much more serious trouble than just viewing some inappropriate websites.

Unfortunately, kids and teenagers carelessly post online their first and last names, postal addresses, phone numbers, pictures and give lots of personal information about themselves. It enables an online predator easily identify and find any of them. Unfortunately, sex predators teem in cyberspace. What you can - and should - do for your kid not to become one of their victims?

The most important is to maintain trust and mutual understanding in your family. Listen to your son or daughter. Encourage your kid tell you about his or her online acquaintances - freely, without fear of being scolded or punished. It's always easier to prevent a problem. Do it in time.

Using monitoring software for child protection will be appropriate if you feel you are losing control of the situation, or have lost it already. Capabilities of different monitoring software products may vary from simply recording the time the computer is on/off to logging every keystroke your kid makes. Use one of them if you are sure it is absolutely necessary for child protection. At any case, parents must care for their kids' safety - both offline and online.
