I saw this earlier and immediately thought of it as a backdoor promotion of their fabulous all singing all dancing anti-phishing sideshow.
Its pretty dangerous too, completely delegating childrens on-line safety to any third party software is absolutely no substitute for keeping a personal eye on them.
