ChildSafe 3.0 is designed to help parents keep their children safe from Internet predators by monitoring computer activity. Items monitored include keystrokes (including chat room dialogue), programs used and sites visited on the Internet. It also captures screen shots of what their children have been viewing.

The software can either run hidden or in an open mode making it ideal for use in situations where parents want to set up an online safety plan (see sidebar). When ChildSafe 3.0 runs in hidden mode, parents can obsserve their children's computer activities without intimidating their children. When running in open mode, ChildSafe 3.0 will display a warning message informing children that they are being monitored.
