Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Dissenting Point of View
This product is very easy to install and configure. While the graphical interface is quite archaic, the functions are well placed and simple to use.

For monitoring the amount of time someone spends on the internet or computer itself, the software excels.

The reason for the 2 star rating is the fact that the company claims to have an effective system for protecting kids on the internet. This is a false claim and I will explain why.

The software claims to have 2 systems in place for disallowing the computer user to surf to smut sites. One of them is general categorical site blocking, the other blocks everything except URLs the administrator manually inputs.

The problem with the former system, blocking sites by category, is the it is too restrictive for general use if set to be safe, and not restrictive enough if set to be useful for general internet use.

- Useless
The product was impossible to set up and ridiculously cumbersome to use. I returned it.

Rating:

- Does not really improve much on Vista parental controls
good idea and easy to install and configure, but i could never get the remote admin feature to work, and too many normal websites like google and yahoo got blocked, and the limit on total hours feature assumes you login logout each time pc is used, it cannot detect actual pc activity, so if you leave the pc on, but dont use it, you come back to find out you are locked out. I have reverted to using only the Vista builtin parental controls which cover most of the bases.

Rating:

- Better Than Being the "Screen Police"!
The kids can argue with you all day long about more computer time, but when the computer shuts down automatically after a pre-determined amount of time, it's final! I love this program. It's not quite as intuitive as I had hoped, but then again I'm no computer genius . . .
