Version: CyberPatrol Parental Controls 7.7
Pros: Very full-featured. I really like the ability to create my own lists of sites to block or allow, as well as the ability to control what days/times my kids can use the internet. Much more comprehensive than other similar software I've looked at.
Cons: None that's I've found yet.
Summary: This is a great product. I think it does everything you want a Parental Controls product to do. read more

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.
