PCMag Previews Safe Eyes 6
PC Magazine, which has twice declared Safe Eyes their Editor’s Choice for parental control software, is offering a preview of Safe Eyes 6:
With version 6.0, the company has changed its emphasis, calling the program a “family Internet manager” rather using the phrase “parental control”.
Safe Eyes now includes ratings-based filtering of video content on Hulu, iTunes and major TV networks including ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox. Parents can limit viewing to G and TV-G, PG and T-PG, PG-13 and TV-14, or R and TV-MA.
Safe Eyes can also filter objectionable YouTube videos based on community response and on metadata such as keywords and description. In a similar fashion Safe Eyes can block download of songs with explicit lyrics from iTunes.
Version 6 enhances protection against offensive search results, enforcing “safe search” in Google, Yahoo, Bing and YouTube. Activity reports for parents, automatically generated on a daily or weekly basis, are now much more informative. The basic report summarizes surfing and searching activity with an option to drill down for as much detail as desired. For example, parents can see a list of videos viewed with a thumbnail and description for each.
Look out for full reviews of Safe Eyes 6 coming soon.

Will this be for the Mac as well as the PC?? I’m dying for a new version for the Mac.
The Mac version will come after the PC version, but we will start working toward getting the Mac version up to speed as soon as the PC version is released. Thanks for the interest!
