OUR THOUGHTS:
I'm one of those ones who did not think Internet protection was necessary for our family. Until recently our children were not allowed to use the computer unless they were in the room with us. Since we moved they each have their own rooms. So from time to time they like to go be on the computer alone.
Another reason I do not like Internet protection is the length of time it takes to get it working. I do not like installing things on the computer. It always seems to take forever to get it working right.
Action Alert took no time at all to install and get working. I was VERY impressed. I was curious on how it all worked so I put some filters in that I knew my kids would look up. ha ha. They were not bad sites but I wanted to see how it worked. My son really enjoys watching videos about monster trucks. So I allowed him to take the computer and watch them. He typed it in and i got an email saying he did that. I yelled up and asked him how he liked the monster truck video. ha ha.
If you are looking for a very easy, complete Internet safety software then Action Alert is for you!!
