Livia Web Protection Wins the PTPA Media Inc. Seal of Approval

Total Tech, a provider of innovative Internet security solutions, today announced that Livia Web Protection, an award winning, easy-to-use Web filtering solution for the home that safeguards families from online dangers while helping parents manage how their children use the Internet, has been awarded the influential PTPA Media Inc.'s Seal of Approval for excellence in parenting products.

PTPA Media Inc. (Parent Tested Parent Approved) has announced the winners of the 2008 Fall Product Call for the best in parenting products. The products have been awarded the PTPA Media Inc.'s Seal of Approval in many categories ranging from baby monitors, baby slings, safety gear, bedding and the most recent addition of a Green category. Being honored with an award from PTPA Media Inc. is a huge achievement for a product geared to babies, children and parents.

Built on industry-leading Web security technology from Websense, Inc. that safeguards more than 42 million employees worldwide, Livia delivers a secure, simple to use approach to home Internet protection. With a few clicks of the mouse, Livia allows families to quickly set Web filtering policies to either allow or block Web site access by restriction level. Within minutes, parents can protect their children from pornographic and violent content, while securing their home systems from threats such as identity theft, phishing, and malicious code.

"Livia Web Protection is honored to have won the Seal of Approval for excellence from Parent Test Parent Approved," said Ken Hamilton, CEO for Total Tech. "It's imperative to provide parents with the best possible protection for their families and children while online. Receiving such an award directly from parents who test and utilize our software speaks highly on Livia's performance and ease-of-use to defend children from the thousands of dangerous and objectionable Web sites that are discovered each day."

Livia Web Protection was among many entries competing to win the PTPA Media Seal of Approval for Fall 2008. PTPA Media's mission is to discover and appraise new products designed for children and families. Companies throughout North America submitted samples of their parenting products and they were matched with PTPA Media's large database of parents. The products were tested by savvy parenting reviewers, and professionals and the results were compiled for PTPA Media Inc.'s review committee for the final decision. The winners of the prestigious Seal of Approval from PTPA Media are selected based on value, functionality, quality and appeal of the product.

"We are excited to announce the winners of the PTPA Media Inc. product call for Fall 2008," said Sharon Vinderine, a Director at PTPA Media Inc. "It's a win-win situation for the consumer as well as the manufacturer. Parents who are shopping for products for their families can look for our Seal of Approval and know that these products have been tried and tested by parents for parents."

Livia was developed to help parents keep children from accessing explicit online material, while protecting the entire family from new Web-based dangers such as spyware, viruses and other threats.

"Livia Web Protection has taken the Websense Web security platform and successfully transformed it for home use," said Leo Cole, vice president of marketing, Websense. "We encourage our partners to use Websense technology to bring new solutions to market and applaud Total Tech for receiving the PTPA Seal of Approval for this innovative home Web filtering product."

In addition to the 2008 PTPA Media Seal of Approval, Livia Web Protection was also recently awarded the 2008 Seal of Approval from The National Parenting Center. For more information and to view online safety tips for parents, please visit http://www.liviaweb.com.
