Review: AVG Family Safety
AVG Family Safety offers exactly the same comprehensive mix
of parental control features as Editors' Choice Bsecure
Online, which makes sense as it's a licensed version of
Bsecure. At its current price, though, it's a much better
deal.

Review: ZoneAlarm SocialGuard
ZoneAlarm SocialGuard tracks your children's Facebook
accounts and reports on actual problems. Parents can see
who the child's friends are, but they don't get access to
posts, comments, photos, and so on. It offers a good balance
between protection and privacy.
