CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This top-notch parental control application impressively blocks and monitors online activity. Block Home's interface is clear-cut and easy to configure. You'll quickly be able to filter and block all access to Web sites featuring adult content.

Specific URLs you deem unfit may be added to a blacklist, and sites that are appropriate but may contain words the software would otherwise block can be placed on a whitelist. For ultimate control, Block Home's limited-usage feature only allows kids to visit the specific URLs on that list. This app's blocking abilities don't stop there; you can thwart P2P file sharing, instant messages, spyware, and adware.

Besides its Web barriers, we like that it also features an online monitor that logs every site visited including the date and time. Naturally, the program is secured with password protection to prevent uninstallation, shutdown, and settings changes. Parents can rest easy while impressionable minds surf the Web using this effective application.
