only Vista-compatible fingerprint mouse, which has FIPS 140-2
compliance with 256 AES Encryption. This is the same level of
encryption used by the U.S. government and military to protect

to adjust parental controls such as times of Internet access and
restricting of access to chat rooms and social networking sites.
The product also provides real-time monitoring from any computer in
the world to stop problems before they occur. -- The renowned Net
Nanny(TM) Family Safety Software for the Internet, which has been
named the number #1 Internet filtering software worldwide for the
past two years by PC Magazine. Net Nanny's state-of-the-art dynamic
filtering engine ensures that family members won't be exposed to
pornography and other inappropriate content. Net Nanny is highly
customizable, permitting each family member to have his or her own
filtering settings, rather than forcing the family into a "one size
fits all" scenario. Powerful remote management tools allow parents
to maintain Internet settings remotely. -- $2500 worth of insurance
for identity theft protection, plus $1000 in virus protection and
physical damage insurance to provide for repairs of household
computers. -- Geeks On Call's Parents' Guide to Internet Safety. A
comprehensive guide to web-safe practices for children and parents.
Designed to help children and parents avoid the negative side of
the Internet and enjoy the unique tool for learning and
entertainment that it is meant to be. "Internet safety is a growing
concern among parents and guardians and Net Nanny's mission is to
protect children and families from the dark side of the Internet,
and we're proud to be aligned with companies that proactively share
this vision," said Jack Sunderlage, President and CEO of
ContentWatch. "This bundle of technology and education will greatly
eliminate the chances of kids being exposed to such threats as
cyber-bullying, pornography and Internet predators." Geeks On Call
CEO Richard Cole said, "We are proud to partner with
ProtectTheChildren.com, a company dedicated to empowering parents
to protect their children and their identity online. Both the
educational advantages and the dangers to children on the Internet
are growing at an alarming rate. It troubles me to see statistics
about how so many of our children "talk" in chat rooms or use
instant messaging with strangers and even post personal information
on the Internet. This security product should give parents the
peace of mind to know that their children can now take advantage of
the educational aspects of the Internet without venturing into
areas that could possibly expose them to harm without their
knowledge." To view a video version of the above quote by Richard
