A break from the classrooms and lots of time outside with the neighborhood gang is what Summer vacation used to mean. Kids today, with the rise of the Internet, social networking in particular, never really lose touch with any of their classmates during the summer months. Spending hours of their time on the Internet already, parents are sure to see a noticeable increase in their kids' online activity in the hot, hazy and humid months to come.

James Leasure, Pandora Corp. co-founder, declared: "Kids on summer break are going to spend much more time unsupervised at home, inside, and much more time online." "But so will sexual predators. They know kids will be at home alone all day. They are going to use that scenario to their advantage."

So what can parents do to make sure their child is staying safe online this summer?

"In this economy, parents are going to have to keep working during the summer. But if they are using technology like our PC Pandora monitoring software, they can know what their kids are doing online throughout the day," adds Leasure.

Working like a DVR for your PC, PC Pandora records all computer activity by taking sequential snapshots of what is on the computer screen. This enables parents to see exactly what their children have been doing. PC Pandora also comes equipped, for parents that have to be at work and leave the kids at home this summer, with the IRIS feature that sends email updates to parents at specified intervals.

Chris Graham, Chief Software Evangelist stated: "Obviously, for the working parent, our IRIS email report feature is a totally indispensable tool." He added: "IRIS allows the parent to completely monitor the child's online behavior while at work or otherwise away from the home. Our excellent monitoring features, combined with reports delivered via email, are undeniably the best way to ensure your children are staying out of trouble online during the long, long summer vacation."

PC Pandora, in addition, has all the features that other parental control programs utilize, such as website filtering, program blocking and email, IM and keystroke logging functions; plus, new features on the PC Pandora version 5.0 that include chat control blocking, webcam capture and file tracking.
