Windows Live OneCare Family Safety is one of many free Windows Live programs for Microsoft Windows, developed by Microsoft. As a parental control application in its beta stage, it allows users to set guidelines and restrictions for children surfing on the internet and allows parents to monitor their children’s web activities. Windows Live OneCare Family Safety is roughly similar to Windows Vista Family Safety, which is offered in the next version of Microsoft Windows. A preview of the application was offered to 3000 testers earlier in 2006. Currently, the beta is available for download by residents of the U.S.
