Noting that it is the success that ParetoLogic has enjoyed to date that has made it possible for them to offer this product free of charge, Elton Pereira, CEO and Co-Founder states that, "Through the development of our other online safety products we became acutely aware of the risks present for children using the Internet. We can think of no better application that fits our skills and knowledge than a premium parental controls software and it is our honour to do so free of charge."

Recognizing the diversity in cultures, values, and beliefs of today's families, ParetoLogic developed PGsurfer to be flexible and customizable in its settings in order to accommodate for the preferences and choices of individual families. Created with the belief that software is only part of the equation to keep kids safe online, ParetoLogic's PGsurfer Forum (http://forums.paretologic.com/)is available to all parents who desire information, education, and support regarding family online safety issues.

Moderated by specially trained ParetoLogic Technical Support staff, the PGsurfer Forum offers parents, caregivers, and teachers a safe place to ask questions and share information and receive PGsurfer technical support. Amanda Cooper, Director of Communications at ParetoLogic and primary blogger for the PGsurfer Blockwatch Blog (http://blogs.paretologic.com/pgsurfer/)encourages parents to "bring themselves up to speed on issues related to Instant Messaging, chat rooms, social networking, cyber bullying, and online predators. We can't stress enough to parents that knowledge and communication with kids is the key to keeping them safe online."
