When first entering this site, visitors will see a sign stating “You may live in a safe neighborhood, but your computer does not”, and I think that’s probably the best way to describe what FamilyWatchdog.com does: it presents a variety of articles tackling essential computer safety issues, from viruses and other navigational hazards, to some quick parenting tips to keep children safe from abusers or bullies.
The articles are usually short, and carry links to software download pages, from where users can get freeware antivirus and spam blockers. But this site isn’t just about generating awareness: the company behind it is a software publisher who’s presently developing a home router/firewall app specifically designed to block access to inappropriate content, and although there’s not much information for the time being, check back in the future to learn about this project. Interestingly, they are also planning to open a discussion forum for users to provide support and advice to each other on these internet safety topics, and also discuss the app’s performance, but those are all plans for the near future, so while you wait, learn a thing or two about keeping yourself, your computer and your family safe by reading the materials available from FamilyWatchdog.com.
