Email Blocking

Protect your children and teenagers by limiting which email accounts can be checked, and who email can be received from. You create a "whitelist" of approved contacts that can be emailed. Any email that is sent from or to an address not on the approved list is blocked.

Social Networking

Protect your personal information and keep your children safe on social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook, and Xanga. Enter your address, phone number, etc. into Safe Eyes and any time that data is posted to any website or forum it is tracked in the usage reports for that Safe Eyes user.

Usage Reports and the Safe Eyes Administrator

If you save your usage logs to your computer, you will notice that the usage log viewer has been completely redesigned. From there, you can expand different areas to see detailed usage information, you can view multiple days at a time, and you can save/print the usage reports. Normal user accounts only see their own usage reports and the Safe Eyes administrator now has the option to prevent them from seeing any usage data.

The Safe Eyes Filter Administrator has been completely redesigned to make it easier to find and configure Safe Eyes settings. There is now an Account Summary page that allows you to view all active features for all your users and jump right to any feature for a particular user.

Security Enhancements

The security of Safe Eyes has been increased. Secure/encrypted websites (HTTPS/SSL) are now categorized and blocked if you have chosen to block that category.

In previous versions of Safe Eyes, any Safe Eyes user could log in on any computer with Safe Eyes. There is now a new feature called "User Roaming" that can be used to prevent this and increase security on your computer. Log in to Safe Eyes using the administrative account and under "Support" in the Safe Eyes Tray Icon menu, choose "Prevent User Roaming."

Miscellaneous Updates

• Supported operating systems: XP/Vista/Vista64.
• The popup blocker has been removed and the Internet Explorer Toolbar has been updated to work with IE7.
• Auto-Update: Safe Eyes will notify you when a new version is available for download.
• A "Disable Safe Eyes" option has been added allowing you to temporarily disable Safe Eyes by providing the administrator username and password. This option can also be removed from the Safe Eyes Tray Icon menu.
