SafeScreen from Dublin-based PixAlert has been selected by Microsoft to support parental controls in the Windows Vista operating system. Microsoft says the choice reflects its continuing bid to provide the technology and tools to fight against online predators and to help protect families from unwanted and inappropriate content.
PixAlert says SafeScreen is an advanced PC protection and real-time image monitoring solution that identifies and obscures pornographic content on the screen from any source. This includes images from the internet and from a host of devices such as DVDs, cell phones, USB keys and media players.
PixAlert says it is one of only two European vendors to be part of Microsoft’s family safety efforts. By using the most advanced screen interception and audit technology developed for the corporate environment, SafeScreen protects families from viewing illicit content as it is displayed and also allows parents to scan their PCs and remove unsuitable material.
PixAlert CEO John Nolan said: “This initiative dramatically improves family protection by implementing better security measures at the operating system level.”
SafeScreen enhances website blocking technologies already built into Windows Vista by intercepting and blurring inappropriate images at the screen in real time.
