Computer Associates Africa, as part of a group of IT and other companies that form the Kliksafe Project, is in conjunction with Child Protection Week enabling users to bring their PCs to the Menlyn Shopping Centre in Pretoria, from 1 to 4 June 2005, for free security upgrades.
Kliksafe is a South African Web site (www.kliksafe.co.za) that works to inform and defend children against the dangers of the Internet. The site contains valuable information on how parents can protect their children - discussing the warning signs as well as the appropriate actions.
Therefore, as part of KlikSafe`s efforts, users can now take advantage of CA and Microsoft SA`s free security upgrades that include the updating of patches, the free loading of CA eTrust EZ Anti-virus software as well as a free, three-month fully-functional trial-period of CA`s eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware software (designed to keep your PC free and clear of spyware, adware and other non-virus threats).
"We urge all PC users to bring in their machines where it will be upgraded by a team of technicians and engineers with the latest patches and software from CA and Microsoft," comments Karel Rode, business technologist, security management at Computer Associates Africa.
"It is vital that both parents and their children are aware of the potential dangers that the Internet holds, and by updating their PCs they can take the first steps in fighting cyber offenders."
Child Protection Week is instigated by the Department of Social Development.
