[e-mail]: Pull plug on porn.

Byline: Carol Vorderman 

THE average child, spending around eight hours per week surfing the web, can expect to receive over 10 pornographic emails per week.

These messages contain X-rated content, links to pornographic websites and information about explicity adult content.

A new survey from the developers of anti-spamming technology KidsGuard also shows that children can expect to receive some 73 email messages from strangers each week - from finance offers to get-rich-quick schemes.

We've teamed up with KidsGuard to help carol@mirror readers protect their children.

KidsGuard is an email service that stops strangers from emailing children. The service offers five email accounts and 25Mb of storage space (thats about 5,000 emails).

It stops unwanted messages reaching children by only allowing emails from a pre-authorised list of senders - which parents set up. Any other emails sent to children are forwarded to parents so they can decide whether they are suitable.

There is also a powerful virus scanner and a nasty word dictionary which stops emails containing swear words from being delivered.

The service usually costs pounds 10 per year but we have a special deal, which includes a free 14-day trial, for pounds 5. Visit www.KidsGuard.com and click on the free trial icon.
