    DETAILS:
                  PC Magazine Lead Analyst for Security Neil J. Rubenking gives
                  SocialShield a top rating (4.5 out of 5 stars), praising the
                  product as "one impressive monitoring tool." SocialShield was
                  recognized for its ability to not only track five different
                  social networks, but how it aggregates the activity from all of
                  the networks into a single easy-to-understand console.
                  Rubenking noted how SocialShield has distinguished itself from
                  its competitors with easy-to-understand reports that help
                  parents protect their children from cyberbullying.

                  The review follows the company's recent announcement of
                  significant product enhancements, allowing parents to more
                  easily and effectively protect their children on Facebook,
                  Google+, Formspring, Twitter and other social networks. The
                  upgrades give parents even more control, easier access to data
                  and greater sophistication in identifying questionable
                  activities.

    HIGHLIGHTS:
                  --Parents can monitor activities associated with their child's
                  Facebook, Google+, Formspring, Twitter and Myspace profiles
                  -- Aggregates a child's activity across all their social
                  network profiles into a single easy-to-understand console
                 -- Impressive breadth of activity coverage for parents
                  --Alerts parents of  potential contact by strangers, suspicious
                  friends, cyberbullying and other concerning activity

     state-of-the-art tools to help them enhance Internet safety for
     their children in the online environment. The patent-pending
     SocialShield technology flags parents about their children's
