Child Protection Software - Completely Free!

Hey.
Came across the software IMSafer (they do software for schools too which is where I found them from).
It monitors msn/aol/facebook/myspace/bebo/yahoo/icq etc...... Rather than record text, it does intelligent analysis on it somehow.
Then, if the relationship is dangerous, it emails you (the parent) an alert and you can check whether you know who the person is that your child is talking to...
It comes from a company Crisp Thinking who were on the ITV tonight show a few months ago for their role in child protection on the internet.
Anyway, it really does work and it's completely free for windows live messenger/msn! Costs a few bob for some other protocols!
There's loads of free security and child protection software flying around but absolutely nothing like this as far as I can see/search!!!!

I recently downloaded IMSafer for my PC as I have two kids who are at the MSN and internet age and I am really happy with it... Its given me peace of mind about what my kids are doing on the internet. It flagged up an issue on MSN, which I would never have known about otherwise and I have now educated my kids about this.
I would highly recommend it to anyone considering getting monitoring software.0 -

Ah well I guess not as many people as I thought want this type of software? Then again half the problem with online groomers is people don't understand the dangers?[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The internet is a great way to get on the net."
