Hood River, OR (PRWEB) April 20, 2009 - Good Wind Software is happy to announce the release of weNetOK, a program providing safe Internet browsing for young people.
Young people need protection when browsing the Internet. Teachers and parents need to supervise them. weNetOK offers a simple solution for teachers and parents. The program setup is quick, no enrollment is required, websites are available immediately, and Internet usage can be monitored from a distance.
weNetOK allows students to browse pre-approved websites on the Internet. If a website contains links to an unapproved website, weNetOK will not allow students to follow the links. For example, a student may freely use a homework-help website, but will not be able to follow a link to a website selling toys. This positive security technology means that teachers or parents do not have to test every link on a website in order to approve it.
