CALVERTON, N.Y., Feb. 2, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- AdZone Research, Inc. (OTCBB:ADZR) today reported that Web Wise Kids, Inc. President Judi Westberg-Warren has issued the following endorsement letter on behalf of AdZone's Online Predator Profiling System (OPPS):
"Web Wise Kids is proud to announce its enthusiastic endorsement of the new Online Predator Profiling System (OPPS) provided by AdZone Research, Inc. Web Wise Kids is also pleased to announce that AdZone has generously agreed to donate a portion of the proceeds of every sale of OPPS to Web Wise Kids. Web Wise Kids believes that AdZone's innovative new OPPS software provides an exciting new tool to help law enforcement to make the Internet a safer place for kids.
Based in Southern California, Web Wise Kids is a nonprofit organization dedicated to equipping today's youth to make wise choices online. Since 2002, WWK has been teaching children strategies for safe Internet use, including proven methods of detecting and deterring online predators. To date, over 1.1 Million students in the critical 11 to 14 year age range have been trained using WWK's unique educational approach.
With the help of a vast team of community partners (including teachers, law enforcement officers, and community youth leaders), WWK's programs are currently in active use in 49 states. By taking a positive, proactive approach to Internet safety, WWK has succeeded in developing a method of equipping children to be their own 'first line of defense' against child predators online.
Web Wise Kids believes that Internet Safety programs achieve the best results when they succeed in preventing online crime and the resulting damage to children. For this reason WWK is proud to partner with AdZone and believes that AdZone's cutting-edge Online Predator Profiling System will provide investigators with an easy-to-use and effective tool for detecting potential online predators, aiding in missing children cases, and much, much more.
OPPS provides law enforcement officers an up-to-date, searchable database of actual chat room conversations in which potential predators may have tried to lure children away from home. Law enforcement officers can use OPPS to assist with investigations by reviewing a suspect's past conversations, as well as identifying other potential victims with whom that suspect has been chatting with online. With this exciting new software, Web Wise Kids believes that law enforcement can go on the offensive to protect our children, by preventing abductions and accelerating the return of missing children.
In short, Web Wise Kids applauds AdZone for its development of OPPS and its efforts to help make the Internet a safer place for our kids."
Under terms of the agreement, AdZone is responsible for securing OPPS online predator profiling system licenses starting with the more than 2,000 Web Wise Kids community partners it has already engaged. It believes the communities where Web Wise Kids is already present represents a potential of upwards of 50,000 licenses.
