Safe Eyes Software

I've been using SafeEyes software for a couple of years and it does a very nice job protecting our information and keeping info we don't want out of our house (read computers).  We've got it installed on all of our computers (Mac/PCs) and each family member has their own account, which auto loges them in when they log on to their computer (or their side on the shared computer).  It logs everywhere everyone goes, its very configurable but very easy to use.  We use it in conjusction with opendns.org which is a free DNS filter and together they do a very nice job.  We even have a timer setup in SafeEyes to limit the amount of time each child has available to them, and the hours they are allowed on the internet, cause we all know what mom says, " nothing good ever happens after midnight!" :o)  If you're interested they have a FREE 30 day trial.

This software by security firm Secunia, and recommended by security professional Steve Gibson, from GRC.com, is FREE for home use.  The software looks at your installed software and will notify you of old, vulnerable software so that you can patch it or remove it if you don't use it any longer.  Just one more tool in the toolbox for protecting your self from bad software and/or identity theft.
