You spoke, we listened! The latest version of Covenant Eyes will make some members very happy.
If Covenant Eyes was making your iTunes Home Sharing on your Windows PC difficult to use, the new version resolves that problem. Now you can have peace of mind knowing your computers and devices are protected by Covenant Eyes while enjoying wireless networking at home.
Google Chrome users have reason to cheer for the new version as well. Several incompatibilities between Covenant Eyes and Google's browser have been resolved. After updating your current version of Covenant Eyes to the new version you should see better performance when surfing the Internet on Google Chrome.
On a more technical level, we've also renamed some of our files that are often flagged as dangerous by antivirus programs or firewalls. The file names are now called CovenantEyes.exe and CovenantEyesHelper.exe, which makes it easier for members to allow through their firewall or to stop the files from being unintentionally deleted.
