Welcome to the PCMag.com Security Watch Newsletter. Every
week we bring you an overview of the current viruses, worms,
and other threats and the information you need to combat them.

AVG Family Safety gets the review treatment. Anyone can
join in the free beta of the next generation of Symantec's
Norton Antivirus and Norton Internet Security. The Obama
administration has released a strategy for the creation of
secure identities on the Internet. New tools allow Facebook
users to secure themselves and report bullying. In the wake
of the major Epsilon data breach, a smaller one by CheetahMail
shows all the ESPs are suspect. GoldKey could be the key to
securing your data and computer. And new research shows that
almost all Windows security suites can be vulnerable to a
particular kind of attack.

============================================================
AVG Family Safety

AVG Family Safety offers exactly the same comprehensive mix
of parental control features as Editors' Choice Bsecure
Online. It's a licensed version of Bsecure, but it's a much
better deal.
