SAFETY

There is a lot of fun and educational information on the Internet that we want our children to explore and enjoy.  But how do we protect them from the inappropriate content that is out there?

GWI'S Filtering Service

One way inappropriate content reaches our children is through email. As part of your Internet access with GWI, you have access to our email SPAM filtering service. This service allows you to filter out any inappropriate content that may come through email so it never reaches your children.

Other Filtering Products:

There are many other products that you can purchase that allow you to filter Internet content to protect your children. In our Products section we review several of these for you and our article "Making the Internet Kid-Safe" gives you some tips on choosing the software that best meets your needs.

Other Helpful Hints:

Here you will find some useful ideas to make your child's Internet experience a safe and enjoyable one.
