Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) December 1, 2004 -- Who: Apreo, Inc., a leader in use filtering to enforce appropriate use of files and applications, reminds the K-12 community that a zero tolerance policy for the new JFK Reloaded" game is easy to implement.

What: JFK Reloaded" allows players to re-enact the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, by assuming the role of the lone gunman. School administrators should not allow entry of this game onto networks.

Where: Networks across United States schools are at risk of downloads of this game and other inappropriate content.

When: Intense media coverage of the JFK Reloaded" game will cause millions of students to check it out" during this and coming weeks. Schools can deploy Workstation PolicyShield and begin enforcing zero-tolerance for JFK Reloaded" in under an hour. Workstation PolicyShield will detect and remove existing copies of the game, even if disguised, and prevent new installations.

Why: Inappropriate content on school networks puts students at risk of learning inappropriate behaviors that can take a lifetime to overcome. These distractions put achievement at risk as well. Additionally, schools become liable to harassment and other suits. School networks can be compromised by the spyware and other malware often attendant with inappropriate applications such as games, instant messaging, peer-to-peer file sharing and Voice over IP. Apreo enforces appropriate use of these programs, providing schools with controls over exactly which files are used, at what times, and by whom. It also detects and removes any malicious spyware they may carry. School-district-wide control is easy for administrators. Apreo has served the education community since 1996.
