Kid Tested, Tom's Guide Approved - Livia Web Protection is a top-10 software title for keeping kids safe on the Internet

Tom’s Guide has just released its top-10 software titles for keeping kids safe on the Internet in 2009: browsers, e-mail, games, activities, and content blockers. We are proud to announce that Livia Web Protection was included in this great list of resources as a top web filtering and security product to keep our children safe online.

According to Tom’s Kid Safety Guide – “Different families have different online needs, and while many companies have tried to market the “ultimate” online safety solution, there isn’t one easy answer to keep kids completely safe online. Nevertheless, most parents think they ought to take some Internet safety precautions. …Why are these products needed? Simply because relying on the tools built in to your operating system or browser is not enough.”

The Internet continues to evolve every day with more and more threats that families and children must be protected from. The Internet is a great resource for our children, but parents must be educated about the dangers that exist – from identity theft, the presence of sexual offenders online, to keeping our children’s eyes safe from adult content and pornography.

On Livia Web Protection – Tom’s Guide states that “This is perhaps one of the most “set it and forget” programs available for families today.” With Livia Web Protection, parents are able to easily select from pre-defined protection levels, once that level is set, updating of the database of Web sites is done automatically on a daily basis, eliminating the need for parents to do any updating to the software what-so-ever. If a parent chooses to block pornography and adult pages, access to all of these web sites is automatically blocked should a child accidently or purposely attempt to access adult content. Tom’s Guide concludes, “If you want to give a blanket level of protection against the dangers of the Internet, however, it (Livia Web Protection) may be the easiest option.”

October is the National Cyber Security Awareness Month, we find this recognition from Tom’s Guide an honor during such an important cause.
