Madasafish has launched a service that aims to give parents more control over their children’s internet use.

The Madasafish Parental Control software, which can be installed on up to three computers in the home, aims to help parents monitor the risks children are put under when using the internet by blocking any sites they think may be inappropriate. This is done via a safe internet zone accessed in the Parental Control Centre of the software.

As this can be accessed via a password over any internet connection, any checks or changes can be made even if parents are away from the home.

The software also gives parents the opportunity to record all instant messaging conversations to ensure their child stays safe from sexual predators and online bullying.

The service, which is downloaded from the Madasafish site can be trialled free for 30 days, after this the service is available for £2 a month.
