MONTREAL, CANADA--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 8, 2008 -- Radialpoint, leading provider of managed Internet security services for the world's largest Internet service providers (ISPs), is pleased to announce that Videotron and its Vigilance sur le net (http://www.vigilancesurlenet.com/fr/accueil/index.php) and Vigilance sur le net Tournee (http://www.vigilancesurlenet.com/tournee/) online family safety awareness sites have won top honours in this year's Interactive Media Awards(TM)(IMA®) (http://www.interactivemediaawards.com/). Already winning a coveted LACP (League of American Communications Professionals) award for 2007, Videotron's two-phased family safety awareness program has brought home the Best-in-Class and Outstanding Achievement awards in the IMA's Youth category.

"We are pleased to present Videotron and Radialpoint with these two prestigious awards for the Vigilance sites," said Anna Lawrence, spokesperson for the Interactive Media Awards. "Not only were the judges impressed by the very high design standards presented here, but also by the important mission of these sites in building awareness for youth safety online. These sites represent some of the very best work we've seen amid the toughest competition, and we congratulate Videotron and Radialpoint on a job very well done."

Vigilance sur le net provides a unique combination of information, resources, and testimonials designed to bridge the generational communication gaps between youth and parents and their experiences online. Launched in June 2007 as the centerpiece of province-wide public awareness campaign, Vigilance sur le net provides the go-to destination for Quebec consumers of all ages interested in the important issues of online safety.

"Videotron is committed to a safe online experience for all Quebec families and, as such, we had a vision to create an inter-generational forum for dialogue and education around Internet security issues," said Isabelle Dessureault, Videotron's Vice President Corporate Affairs and President of Vox. "Together with our security partner, Radialpoint, we developed Vigilance sur le net to establish a resonating theme that serves the Quebec community and reinforces our commitment to online safety. We are delighted to be recognized among the industry's best for Web communications."

With two entries in the Youth category, the main Vigilance site, www.vigilancesurlenet.com, received the Outstanding Achievement award scoring 475 out of a possible 500 points. The second award for Best-in-Class Achievement was given to the Vigilance tour micro-site, www.vigilancesurlenet.com/tournee/, receiving 485 points out of 500. These outstanding scores put Vigilance into the IMA's very top categories.

"Radialpoint is pleased to be recognized for the creative work we are doing with our visionary ISP customers," said Radialpoint CEO, Hamnett Hill. "We are committed to supporting Videotron in its efforts to raise awareness around issues of online family safety and look forward to future cooperative programs like Vigilance sur le net."

Building on the success of the tour in 2007, Vigilance sur le net is now pursuing its educational tour of Quebec schools called Tournee Vigilance sur le net, featuring Vrak TV and Vox star host Antoine Mongrain as animator, as well as MusiquePlus celebrity VJ/Producer Denis Talbot who originally conceived the idea of the tour.
