Safe Eyes(TM) to Provide Powerful Parental Controls for Microsoft’s New Windows Vista

Safe Eyes, a comprehensive, consistently top-rated parental control software program, will support Microsoft Corp.’s new Windows Vista operating system, it was announced by Forrest Collier, CEO of SafeBrowse, Safe Eyes’ creator. As part of a major Family Safe Computing initiative by Microsoft, Windows Vista will provide a powerful set of parental control options that help parents manage their children’s computer use and keep them safer online. “We’re delighted that Microsoft has selected Safe Eyes as a platform partner for Windows Vista and excited about what this means for computer-using families everywhere,” said Collier.

“Our two companies share a strong commitment to ensuring that children derive all the benefits of using computers and the Internet — with none of the potential pitfalls, such as chatting with strangers online,” added Shane Kenny, co-founder and president of SafeBrowse. “We encourage all families to make Internet safety their #1 resolution for the New Year!”

“Family safety is a top priority for Microsoft, so we’re thrilled to be working with Safe Eyes, which has earned industry recognition for its effective parental controls,” said David George, Director of Family Safe Computing at Microsoft. “We hope parents and other caregivers will take advantage of the range of benefits and options offered by Windows Vista and Safe Eyes to help ensure kids’ online safety.”

With its proven, state-of-the-art controls — including IM monitoring and logging, time limits, and content blocking — Safe Eyes software will complement the Family Settings features available on Premium and Ultimate versions of Windows Vista. It also will be offered as an option on additional home and business versions. PC Magazine’s “Editors’ Choice” 2006 award winner in the parental controls category, Safe Eyes (http://www.safeeyes.com/) provides a wide range of features that allow parents to help kids make wise choices about how they spend their time online.

New Windows Vista Capable computers purchased between October 26, 2006 and March 15, 2007 may be upgraded to the new operating system at a low cost. A Vista-compatible version of Safe Eyes will be available upon the consumer release of Windows Vista.
