UPDATE: I tried to install this program over the weekend but have had a lot of trouble. I have not received any response from the company as of yet. So at this point my recommendation is to hold off on using this.

I read the user forums and there are a few other people that are having the same issues as me but a majority of others are using it with success.

I will let you know anything further.

I will round out the week with one more tip on internet safety.

A friend of mine works in the Information Security field and her team uses a program called K9 Web Protection on their home computers. This powerful program was designed for commercial use but the company provides it FREE for home users.

According to the website FAQ’s this is a filtering software. Basically, it will deny access to pages containing offensive content. However, they stress that this program is designed not to “over-block” (this is when the program blocks pages that are really ok) which is the issue that I have had with other programs.

It is available for computers running Windows XP and Vista. Apparently, there will be a Mac version coming out later this year.

I plan to install this later today and work with it over the weekend. I would love to hear any of your opinions about this software, as well.
