 PICstick (Parents In Control Stick) has been developed to help caring parents protect their children from the dangers of chatroom grooming, malicious websites, violent computer games and other PC applications.
This new piece of computer hardware will be launched on Internet Safety Day
(12 February 2008) to help parents fight back against the dangers of these activities on their home PCs. PICstick is much more than a simple internet filter because it puts parents in control of the whole computer.
All PC applications can be monitored and controlled, including hardware and software, computer games, internet access and emails - incoming and outgoing.
PICstick works as an external control key, letting your children use the computer only when it is plugged in. It fits into the USB port of the PC and allows your children use of the computer applications and Internet sites according to the protection levels that you, the parent have chosen.
The PICStick has been designed to be easy to use, so even a parent who is an inexperienced computer user can safeguard their children. PICStick allows you to block malicious, pornographic and predatory material coming in, as well as prevent sensitive information going out, like credit card details and telephone numbers, names and addresses.
PICStick also monitors and reports on your children’s PC usage. With chat room grooming, self-inflicted diseases and disorders and even terrorism so prevalent among today’s society, it is helpful to know if your children are looking at websites that may encourage them to harm themselves or others.
PICstick logs every detail of chatroom conversations, sites visited and applications used, even giving parents screen shots and details of the child’s activity which they can use to discuss the situation and use as proof if necessary that they know what the child has been doing.
Launching on Internet Safety Day 12th February, It will be available to purchase at www.picstick.com for the one off cost of £49.95.
