Review ~ PG Key

All I can say is WOW!  We had the blessed opportunity to review and try out the PG Key these past few weeks.  PG Key is device that simply plugs into your computer USB port and instantly provides your children protection from the the secular internet.  Every home needs this nifty little device.

PG Key was designed and developed with input from law enforcement and parenting experts who had a  common goal to PROTECT our children.   PG Key has partnered its technology with Google Safe Search.  Also, you can request specific sites that you wish for your children not to visit.  When PG Key is plugged in, all protected user activity is recorded.  You as a parent can view all recordings at leisure.  The video can be fast-forward or played at "real-time."  The PG Key holds up to 60 hours of recorded computer activity.  Once reached the capacity, the oldest video will be replaced with the newest video.

There are so many benefits to this device that I can't do it justice.  Just a few are..... its super easy to install, literally takes minutes to initiate, and alerts you as the administrator when inappropriate behaviors takes place, such as, emails, facebook, chat and email logging, and all social networking.  One of the biggest advantages of PG Key is you can control a time limit each day per user.  For example, I have allotted 40 minutes each day per my two oldest sons.  This is enough time to complete their math, keyboarding, and a few minutes for leisure time.  Of course, they will only have leisure time if they work diligently on their assignments because after the allotted time, the computer shuts off.  HEE HEE!  Yes, I love this little thing.  I can  allow my children to log into the computer when I am not present.  Rest assured, my children are safe.

I appreciate how each child has their own log in to activate the computer.  My boys had fun designing their home page, too.  Also, I respect their 10 Parenting Tools that are included with the PG Key.....

PG Key can be purchased for 49.99 here.  Also, there is absolutely NO annual fee.  PG Key works with Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7.  Read how PG Key compares to other similar products here.  You can also request a free trial period here.  This device is an answer to a prayer for our family. Last year, we had an innocent search turn into something really ugly.  I had a lot of unnecessary explaining to do. Now I have peace of mind, in which, PG Key promotes. I adore this product and recommend it to all families.  Even if your kiddos are perfect like my blessings.  LOL!

I received a free device of PG Key for the purpose of writing an honest review. No other compensation was given.
