Version: CyberPatrol Parental Controls 7.7
"Another unhappy forced upgrade"
Pros: It's worked fine for several years.
Cons: Upgrade lost what customised filter settings I had, without warning. Also zapped browser session with activation code. Demanded credit card details again for what's supposed to be a 'free' upgrade.
