Keeping your kids offline is near on impossible in this day and age, but keeping them safe online has become a whole lot easier, thanks to Avira's Family Protection Suite. As well as offering everything you'd expect from an anti-virus programme, blocking adware, malicious websites, phishing and spyware, it also offers parents some really useful tools for monitoring what their children are getting up to online and some of the dangers they may be opening themselves up to without even realising it. Some of the features that really leapt out at me were the fact that it checks through your child's friends lists to wheedle out anyone who looks like an adult pretending to be a child and that it hones in on any mentions of not just sex but also suicide, something that could be invaluable, as some of the recent tragic stories in the headlines have shown.
Avira are going out of their way to promote family internet safety within the blogging community and have recruited their own mummy blogger who will be casting a parent's eye over what tools Avira can offer at http://blog.check-and-secure.com/mummyx.
