SurfRecon Home Edition allows parents and spouses to find hidden pornographic video on their home computers.

Orem, UT (9.7.2009)—SurfRecon, Inc. announces the final release of its new digital-video detection feature for the SurfRecon Home Edition pornography detection and deletion software. The new feature allows a parent or spouse to quickly scan a home computer for pornographic digital videos and accurately categorize those files. The feature also allows a parent or spouse to view .FLV video files with the same Blur safety tool that is available for reviewing images.

A parent or spouse can also use the video review feature to dissect the video by scene change or by individual frames to quickly find pornographic content that may be hidden or obscured within an apparently clean file.

"Pornographic websites are flocking to digital video and .FLV files in particular," said Matthew Yarro, President, SurfRecon, Inc. "If a computer had nothing but pornographic video on it—and no sexually-explicit images—someone checking the computer might think it was clean, when in fact it was not."

SurfRecon uses patent-pending digital-signature matching technology to identify and categorize digital video as "Safe", "Sexual" or "XXX Rated". The digital-signature technology leverages the SurfRecon data store, the world's most extensive database of known-pornographic-image-and-video signatures, in order to properly identify and categorize files. The database is continuously growing as it receives submissions from users and members of the law enforcement community worldwide.

"Unfortunately, there is no automated process that can guarantee that a child or spouse is not accessing pornography," said Yarro. "Nothing can replace good old-fashioned supervision, but at least SurfRecon can speed-up that process and allow parents to stay one-step ahead of a super tech-savvy child."

“Including a similar Blur tool for video review was important to us, because if pornographic images can be harmful and addictive, you can only imagine what a pornographic video could do to your mental health,” said Yarro.

Pricing and Availability
The SurfRecon Home Edition pornography detection and deletion software has an MSRP of $39.95 for the DVD version and an MSRP of $49.95 for the USB thumb drive version making it some of the most affordable home-forensic software available today. The software can be purchased directly from SurfRecon, Inc., as well as Amazon, Intel (sx.intel.com), CompUSA, CircuitCity, TigerDirect, and other finer retail stores.
