Guelph, ON, February 9, 2010 - Today, Netsweeper is recognizing, Safer Internet Day, an internationally recognized event that was created to promote Internet safety and awareness for children, parents and teachers.

"Further, in this day and age where mobile Internet access is becoming more prevalent through the use of laptops and cell phones, Netsweeper believes that we, as parents and guardians, must make it a priority to educate everyone on the risks our children take each and every day when online whether from a desktop at home or a mobile device anywhere."

For over a decade, Netsweeper has devoted itself to developing software solutions that enable IT managers or parents to manage and control Internet access and activity on computers under their respective watch. Today, Netsweeper offers easy to deploy, easy to use solutions that are implemented by educational institutions, government organizations, service providers, businesses and OEM partners around the world both in the network and on individual workstations running Windows, Mac or Linux operating systems.
