Business Wire
SearchHelp, Inc. (OTCBB: SHLP), a leading developer of
award-winning, web-based parental control software, has entered
into an OEM agreement with Systemax Inc. (NYSE: SYX), a leading
marketer of branded and private label computer equipment, to
preload SearchHelp�s popular �Sentry at Home� software products in
all personal computers and notebooks manufactured and shipped by
Systemax starting today. Consumers, who purchase a PC or notebook,
will have a free trial of SearchHelp�s award-winning parental
control software, �Sentry at Home.� Systemax plans to ship
approximately 10,000 computers per month with preloaded Sentry
products. Bill Bozsnyak, CEO of SearchHelp, Inc., said: �We are
gratified that Systemax shares our concerns for the safety of
children who access the Internet. This agreement will provide
protection to children and peace of mind to thousands of additional
parents from the moment their children first use their new
computer. When purchasing a new computer, a parent�s key
consideration should be protecting their children. We find that
most parents are either unaware of parental control software or
they just do not know what and where to buy it. Systemax and
SearchHelp want to make it as easy as possible for parents to
experience this important safety feature by having it preloaded on
all Systemax computers.� Scott Strunk, Vice President of Marketing
for Systemax PC, added: �With the popularity of social networking
sites, chat rooms, instant messaging, and blogs, children are a lot
more vulnerable to the dangers of the Internet, including obscene
or explicit content, inappropriate conversations, and, most
importantly, sexual predators. By offering parents a free trial of
SearchHelp�s award-winning �Sentry at Home� software on all of our
PCs and notebooks, we are making it as easy as possible for parents
to help protect their children from the dangers that exist on the
Internet. In addition, we wanted a product that was proven
effective and easy-to-use. We are proud to offer the �Sentry� line
on our computers.� With SearchHelp�s �Sentry� products, parents can
pro-actively monitor their children�s online activities for
inappropriate content or interaction. These include suspicious
instant messages or conversations requesting private or personal
information as well as attempts to access pornographic and other
unsuitable material. About SearchHelp, Inc. SearchHelp, Inc.
