Get Kid Savvy PC for free
If you have young kids who share your PC, there’s always the worry that they’ll accidentally delete something crucial or change system settings. If that’s a concern for you, you might want to check out the Kid Savvy PC software on offer on the Giveaway of the Day site. Normally sold for $US29.95, but it’s yours for free to download from the Giveaway of the Day site until 7pm AEST tomorrow (it’s a 15.5M download).
Kid Savvy PC runs like any other program on your computer, but when using it, kids can’t access other areas of the system. The program limits the programs and Web sites that kids can access to those you’ve pre-approved (appropriate activities and kid-safe Web site links are included to get you started).
You can also use Kid Savvy PC to manage the amount of time that kids can spend on the computer.
Suitable for Windows PCs only.
