New Home Security Product: McAfee Family Protection
McAfee has just released a new product within the family security and safety: McAfee Family Protection. This is a response OnlineFamily.Norton that was released previously by Symantec. Both suites are very similar and a very clear purpouse idea: control and monitor the content that is browse/download in your home PCs.
Here are some of the features that is included in McAfee Family Protection:
- Block websites according different categories (over 35 by default) and content filtering.
- Blocking applications.
- Block unpermitted YouTube videos.
- Measure the internet time for each user or PC.
- Email and text alerts to notify when some configured rule is trying to be break.
- Monitoring and recording IM conversations and social networking sites.
As the rest of this type of products, it highly depends on a internet connection to validate latests changes in blocked categories and even uses a remote server to validate date and time (this way, if you have restriction accordin to a time window when your childrens can use internet, modifying system clock wont help avoiding this rule).
The cost it is based for three computers at $39.99.
It is a nice price for a security suite that can help you a lot with content filtering, as well as monitoring the type of information that your family is using.
