Brisbane, QLD -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/10/2009 -- With Christmas time approaching, parents are preparing for the school holidays in which school children will be spending an increased amount of time surfing the web. Internet filtering software is helping parents in protecting children from the dangers of the virtual world.

The Christmas holidays mean school children will be spending more time than ever on social networking sites, chat rooms and browsing through the web.

Internet content filter and chat monitoring software, such as Integard, will provide parents with the tool to control and monitor their child’s online activities while using the computer at home over this Christmas period.

The Integard Home v2.0 advanced website filter released last month, provides web activity reports, chat monitoring and social network site monitoring to guard school children online. Other features include, blocking advertising, protecting personal information, suspicious activity reports, automatic PC shutdown and remote administration.

Race River Corporation is making it more affordable for parents to ensure that their children are protected from online predators at home by offering a 50% discount on Integard Home v2.0 internet filtering software.

The special holiday season offer is available by visiting the Race River website. The offer is for a limited time, expiring on the 31st December, 2009.
