McAfee Internet Security -- The Strongest Protection for Macs
“McAfee Internet Security suite helps Apple users confidently live their digital lives,” said Todd Gebhart, executive vice president and general manager, consumer, mobile and small business at McAfee.  “It will protect Mac users from the growing threats users experience while searching the Internet every day, and McAfee Family Protection allows parents to keep a watchful eye over their kids’ activities.”

McAfee Family Protection -- Keeping Families Safe on the Mac
According to a recent survey by McAfee and Harris Interactive, 55 percent of 13-17 year olds said that they hide what they do online from their parents and 36 percent said they would change their online behavior if they knew their parents were watching.  Just as with the PC version, McAfee Family Protection for Mac is designed to give parents a way to protect and monitor their children when using the Internet.

McAfee Family Protection includes the following features and benefits:

• Web blocking allows parents to block up to 35 different categories of content, preventing children from visiting sites related to topics like drugs or pornography.  Keyword search filtering prevents children from searching for terms prohibited by parents.
• Activity reports provide parents a full view of their children’s Internet activity – including all websites visited.  The reports are designed to empower parents to teach their kids how to safely use the Internet.
• Instant notifications are sent to parents by email when a child tries to access inappropriate sites.
• Time limits allow parents to manage the amount of time children use the Internet.
• Program blocking enables parents to block specific applications installed on the Mac.  For example, a parent can block iTunes to ensure their children don’t download songs or movies without their permission.
• Encrypted site blocking provides a deeper layer of protection against accessing Web sites that are encrypted which include many pornography sites.
• Parents can remotely modify each child’s profile. For example, a parent may block the category “drugs” but then remotely modify the rule if their teen needs access to an educational drug-related site for homework purposes.

McAfee Family Protection is available today on Mac OS 10.5 or later in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. It will be available in India for Rs1,980. For more information, please visit: www.mcafee.com/mac/in.
