Reviewed by: CNET Staff
True to its name, Child Control gives you a number of creative ways to control your kids' use of the computer.
For instance, it lets you restrict access to games or other applications to a certain amount of time per day, or you can set the PC to automatically shut down after a certain hour. If you're concerned about your child's Web-surfing activities, you can block sites that contain blacklisted words. Monitoring PC usage in your absence won't be a problem, as Child Control can send reports via e-mail. With special temporary-access codes, you can even extend usage time while you're away.
The application is decently protected against youthful computer prodigies; although kids will be able to see the utility via the Start menu, they must have the master password to disable it. For added protection, Child Control can disable the Task Manager along with other Windows system functions. Perhaps even more important, the interface is clean and won't confuse most parents.
All told, Child Control makes a nice pick for parents who want to keep an eye on their youngsters' doings on the computer.

Version: Child Control 2007 9.328
Pros: This has done a very good job of PC time on/off, internet time on/off. Easy to set up and use. I use ZoneAlarm for filtering. A lot of people seem to have poor experiences with this program. I haven't but...
Cons: ...but the time control feature (my main reason for purchase) seems to be failing. This MUST be a fault of my PC because another excellent product, ComputerTime, also failed after some time. That company did not know the reason for the failure and couldn't help me correct it. This company, too, hasn't been able to help me fix the problem. Extremely frustrating.
