Your Questions Answered - What Is SurfSafe
SurfSafe is a unique subscription service, designed to keep your whole family safe against the dangers lurking on the web by giving you the power to control where they can surf to.
There are two powerful parts to the service:
- The SurfSafe PC plugin - an easy to install component that 'plugs' into your PC's operating system. This acts as a guardian whenever the web is being accessed from your PC.
- SurfSafe Online Control Centre - you will have a unique username and password to access the Control Centre.
These two parts combine to ensure your family can only access the web sites you choose. Your children will not be able to 'get round' the control by using a different web browser or temporarily dialling in to a different ISP.
We believe this makes SurfSafe one of the most effective Parental Control Services available.
Take a look at the benefits that this service offers...
SurfSafe puts you in complete control of which websites your family can access, and the types of content they are exposed to, based on their needs or ages. The service also allows you to block annoying pop-up ads, and will prevent hackers and malicious applications from getting inside your PC where they can cause all kinds of havoc and damage.
Based on one of the world's leading web content databases, SurfSafe uses one of the most comprehensive and accurate web content filtering databases available today.
Developed by SurfControl - the World's #1 Web and Email Filtering Company - the database stores the details of billions of web pages, which have been segmented into 40 useful categories (click here to see the category list). On average, 35,000 new sites are added to the database every week by SurfControl's global research team, so you can be sure that it's completely up-to-date.
This powerful database is used to check the suitability of websites based on the permission/age levels you have set for your family members. We constantly update the database so it provides peace of mind without you having to constantly upgrade software as you would with other services.
Importantly, with SurfSafe there's no complex software to install on your PC, just the quick, automatic plugin into your operating system and away you go - we manage the rest for you.
Once you have signed up you can login to the SurfSafe Online Control Centre, where you will find a choice of easy to use control settings. You don't need to be a computer expert, and if you do ever get stuck, first-class technical support is only a phone call or email away.
With SurfSafe, there's no limit on the number of users that can be managed on your PC. You also have the flexibility to customise the filtering controls for each member of your family according to their age and needs.
SurfSafe allows you to monitor when your family have been using the Internet and what for. With just a few clicks of your mouse, you can get immediate up-to-date and interactive online reports. You can even have them automatically e-mailed to you to review at your leisure.
