New Computer for Christmas? Keep Your Kids Safe with PC Pandora Monitoring Software
Las Vegas, NV (Vocus/PRWEB) December 22, 2010
Itâs no secret that our kids live their lives fully immersed in a digital world. With Christmas just days away, it is more important than ever for parents to take the necessary steps to make sure this yearâs âbig giftâ doesnât open Pandoraâs box.
Despite the warnings from experts against giving a child their own computer, a teenager having their own PC is an unavoidable reality today. Times have changed; school work very often requires a computer and there is immense pressure from peers to be socially active online.
âWhat parents tend to forget is that these high tech toys arenât necessarily for kids,â explains Jamie Leasure, co-founder of Pandora Corp. âA computer that can connect to the Internet can connect your child with the rest of the world⦠and visa versa. Thatâs not something that should be shrugged off. Itâs your job to make sure you are keeping your kids safe from Internet predators and not enabling a cyberbully.â
Pandora Corp., makers of PC Pandora monitoring software, is reminding parents to be smart when giving teens and even younger children their own computer this holiday season. Parents must adopt and enforce a new set of rules, such as leaving the door open and a âno Internet after __â time. Also, visiting a childâs room often when they are online and asking them questions about what websites they are visiting and who their online friends are needs to become standard family practice.
âIn addition, as you get ready to give them the âbig giftâ this year, make sure it is outfitted with the proper parental control and monitoring software,â says Leasure. âTools like our PC Pandora make it easy to find that safe, happy medium between teens being able to freely use the Internet socially, and parents being able to keep their kids safe from Internet predators and out of trouble.â
PC Pandora is computer monitoring software that records all user activity on a computer. First-rate monitoring capabilities take sequential snapshots of everything that happens on the screen, allowing parents to see first-hand everything their child does both on and offline. Further details of user activity are made available in text-based files and easy-to-read charts, including websites visited, instant messenger chats, emails sent and received, peer-2-peer files shared, keystrokes logged, programs accessed, Internet search queries and more. The IRIS feature will send those text-based files right to a parentâs email, and the PC Pandora LIVE! add-on allows parents to check screenshots and adjust parental controls though a secure web login â an invaluable feature for working parents who canât always be home when their kids are online.
âPC Pandora is essentially a DVR for your childâs computer,â says Leasure. âIf your child is talking to strangers on social networks, creating and maintaining multiple social network profiles, visiting websites you donât approve of, downloading illegal music and movies, or falling victim to or â even worse â acting as a cyberbully, you will know about it if you are monitoring their internet activity.â
As a special promotion for the holidays, the company is offering the software at a discounted price. Parents can use the code âholiday2010â at the pcpandora.com store to get $ 20 off their purchase.
