Dated: 17th of December, 2012
This piece of software is designed to protect you from viruses as well as while on the internet with their security tools. While this is all very well and good the only down side about using any security software is that it is up to the user as to how effective this is.
Some of the great features are to help save on bandwidth (if you have dial-up or even low data-cap, or even slow internet) and you have more than one computer, you can set one to be a master server so it will download the update and then it will distribute it out to the other copies therefore preserving your precious download allocation for something more important (like Facebook 
or your favorite thing).
The other features that are good are the parental controls, these are great if you wish to limit the access anyone on the computer can use right down to the the times they can use the computer even to the times they can use the computer but not the internet and let them use at certain times, even just set a daily usage. This means no more saying I only said you could use the computer or/and internet for 1hr. The only problem i find is that they only do this in the 1 hour lots (except for the daily usage section which will let you do minutes).
You can even block websites by group (i.e. Drugs, Illegal Software, those XXX sites and many more, you can even say block everything except for the ones you allow too. File downloads is another category that can be controlled and you can select the categories in there to allow or disallow however you can specify the type of file only like Music, Video, etc.
The good section for your youngins are the instant messaging and the social networking parts. here you can control which contacts can be messaged and the user can receive messages from. With the social media section, this works where it's a log, when the user sends or receives a message it is logged, from there you can go in and select to allow them to keep contact or deny them future contact with that contact. You can also control the private data where by disallowing specific private data from being sent, like Credit cards, home addresses and phone numbers.
Last but not least for the parental controls is the word usage where you can monitor the uses of specified words or combinations of words within messages and web forms too, allowing you to prevent your child/user being able to use them to create accounts with those words, etc. You can also allow backup and restores of your computer data to keep it safe as well, and in the computer protection area is where you can allow different types of scans from the shallow scans to your deep and malware scans as well.
All in all I love this software as I know it will keep me and my family safe from the internet dangers providing they keep that human error in check and don't just say allow the nasties in when doing the scans or going to places that might not have been thought of for blocking.
