(Oct. 19, 2011) - As part of National Crime Prevention Month the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office unveils a new program tonight to help protect kids online. The unveiling will be held during a series of Internet Safety courses the agency's Crime Prevention Unit is holding at area schools, starting tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Stone Hill Middle School.

The new program, called ComputerCop, is a computer software program that allows parents to view and permanently delete potentially harmful images and information that have been downloaded on any home computer (Windows Only). The free software is easy to install and gives parents an added safeguard to make sure their children are using the Internet safely and responsibly. The software will not only aid in protecting children from harmful material on the Internet, but should also initiate a line of communication between parents and children regarding the positive and negative aspects of the Internet and its appropriate use.
