A team of clinical psychologists claims to have designed internet safety and parental control software that allows for more secure and productive surfing.

The Responsible Surfing web filtering software offers parental control tools for children as well as the whole family.

As may be expected the software allows parents to block or filter websites, control the amount of time spent on the internet and limit online gaming, shopping and chatting.

But the difference with this toolkit is that it has been developed in response to research carried out by clinical psychologists on internet crime and addiction.

The psychologists have extensive experience in dealing with various online addictions such as gaming, chatting and gambling, and have worked in prisons to understand the behaviour of sexual predators.

The software is available in Home, School and Business editions with prices starting from just $39.99.
