CCleaner - A freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history.
Childproof your internet connection
Covenant Eyes - It has accountability you can set up and also filtering. It is pretty solid and very hard to hack, impossible we believe without at least the knowledge that it has been tampered with. It logs all info on their servers so you can't delete sites, or history.
OR
PC Pandora - This can run hidden, but can be cracked by high schoolers or more advanced users who know it is there. So if kept secret it works pretty well.
Resources for your Website
Google Business Listing - This free service allows customers to see details about your business when they do a Google search for your business name. A map shows the location of your business along with phone numbers, email addresses and of course, your website address. You can also add a coupon to your listing that customers can print out and bring in to redeem.
