Why is ChatShield free?
NetIDme develops internet security solutions that help both businesses and consumers. By developing security products for the business world, we have been able to fund the development of ChatShield, and offer it as a free tool for home users. Therefore, unlike other free parental control tools, we do not need to support ChatShield by advertising. It is strictly 100% free from adware and spyware. NetIDme was originally founded to help protect children online, and this remains a key focus for the business. We will continue to develop and support ChatShield as a free tool to help protect families when using instant messenger.
