BrowseSafe Brings Truly Safe Surfing to the Internet With PlanetGood Family Web Browser.

INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 7, 1998--

Parents now have a choice in what their children see on the Internet 

BrowseSafe, an Indianapolis based web software company, today introduced its web browser PlanetGood(tm) as the first truly safe method of allowing kids to surf the Internet while giving parents the freedom to choose what their children can and cannot access.

The PlanetGood browser is the only browser available today which prevents users from visiting objectionable web sites. BrowseSafe ensures this by physically reviewing every website that is accessible using the PlanetGood browser according to a set of criteria. Websites are continuously monitored and approved against these criteria for access using PlanetGood by a board of parents and educators who represent the interests of families and children, and who espouse traditional American values.

"At BrowseSafe we believe that parents are the ones to choose how their children surf the Web and what they see," said Mark Smith, President of BrowseSafe. "With so much objectionable content, every parent is concerned about what their kids are exposed to. The problem is that existing filter technology simply does not guarantee protection from unscrupulous content. The only way to have peace of mind is to physically screen every site and to then offer a window onto safe content. This is what PlanetGood delivers and we are able to offer parents the security of knowing their kids are viewing everything that is good on the web."

PlanetGood is a full-fledged, customized, safe Internet browser. Users simply replace their standard Netscape Navigator(tm) or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0(tm) (for Windows or Macintosh) with the PlanetGood edition of that browser. It offers families three modes of Web browsing for kids, teens and parents. PlanetWow!(tm) is designed for kids 10 and under and features on-screen instruction and access to games, activities and information especially for children. PlanetCool!(tm) is tailored for adventurous teens, ages 11-16 and offers graphics, a focus on teen issues and access to a higher level of intellectual content. PlanetHome!(tm) is for adults and includes information for responsible adults - entertainment, information, jobs, research, games, etc.

Any website that has content of an objectionable nature is excluded from access by the PlanetGood browser and from all of the three modes of browsing. BrowseSafe is systematically reviewing the most popular sites on the Internet, those which are accessed by the vast majority of family based web surfers. Should the user come across a site which has yet to be screened, they are prompted to simply email a request for the site to be reviewed directly to BrowseSafe who then guarantee to review the site within one working day. This benefit is the only working model of its kind on the web.

The criteria by which every site is judged are: -0-

Chat Rooms              Off Limits
Drugs                   Illegal drugs or the use of them
Gambling                Anything with the purpose of promoting or
                            propagating on-line gambling
Hate/Racial             Anything with hatred or racial bias as a theme
Newsgroups              Off Limits
Pirated Software        Off Limits
Pornography             Nudity or adult themes

"In this way we are effectively building a safe library of information," says Mark Smith. "We expect to have reviewed close to one hundred million pages by the end of the year. This represents a huge and valuable source of information and is exactly what the online experience should provide. Our approach empowers parents to protect their children from being subjected to the huge amount of objectionable material they come across in the course of a standard search request."

The PlanetGood browser requires a one-time installation that takes a couple of minutes to set up. Parents simply replace their standard Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer with the PlanetGood edition of that browser.

Founded in the summer of 1997, BrowseSafe does not believe in government censorship or involuntary restrictions of any kind. The company's browsing products are an alternative for parents who wish to make access on the Web limited for their own family. BrowseSafe's PlanetGood is sold through retail channels and as an optional service available from ISPs.
