McAfee Internet Security -- The Strongest Protection

“McAfee Internet Security suite helps Apple users confidently
live their digital lives,” said Todd Gebhart, executive vice
president and general manager, consumer, mobile and small business
at McAfee. “It will protect Mac users from the growing threats
users experience while searching the Internet every day, and McAfee
Family Protection allows parents to keep a watchful eye over their
kids’ activities.”

users whether an ecommerce site has been scanned by McAfee for

McAfee Family Protection -- Keeping Families Safe on the
Mac
According to a recent survey by McAfee and Harris Interactive,
55 percent of 13-17 year olds said that they hide what they do
online from their parents and 36 percent said they would change
their online behavior if they knew their parents were watching.
Just as with the PC version, McAfee Family Protection for Mac is
designed to give parents a way to protect and monitor their
children when using the Internet.
McAfee Family Protection includes the following features and
benefits:
- Web blocking allows
parents to block up to 35 different categories of content,
preventing children from visiting sites related to topics like
drugs or pornography. Keyword search filtering prevents children
from searching for terms prohibited by parents.
- Activity reports provide
parents a full view of their children’s Internet activity –
including all websites visited. The reports are designed to empower
parents to teach their kids how to safely use the Internet.
- Instant notifications are
sent to parents by email or text message when a child tries to
access inappropriate sites.
- Time limits allow parents
to manage the amount of time children use the Internet.
- Program blocking enables
parents to block specific applications installed on the Mac. For
example, a parent can block iTunes to ensure their children don’t
download songs or movies without their permission.
- Encrypted site blocking
provides a deeper layer of protection against accessing Web sites
that are encrypted which include many pornography sites.
- Parents can remotely modify
each child’s profile. For example, a parent may block the
category “drugs” but then remotely modify the rule if their teen
needs access to an educational drug-related site for homework
purposes.
McAfee Family Protection is available today on Mac OS 10.5 or
later in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. It will
be available in the United States for $39.99 USD. For more
