Australian Internet Safety HotLine Up and Running

Posted on Monday, August 20, 2007 at 05:49AM by Registered CommenterInternet Safety Advisor | Comments4 Comments

The long-awaited program of free Internet filters for Australian families as well as a telephone hotline where families obtain online safety advice, has just been launched.

The hotline's phone number is 1.800.880.176 and is open from 8:00am to 10:00 pm.   Interpreters are available.

The two different brands  of free Internet filters available are Optenet Web Filter and Safe Eyes.  Both can be downloaded directly from the NetAlert website or sent to the user in the mail in CD-ROM form. Both filters are PC compatible but only Safe Eyes supports the  Apple's Mac platform.
