• Enough Cheese To Start A Pizza Parlor!

  Toulinwoek3/8/2007

  Pros

  It blocks sites containing objectionable content, redirecting the browser to a page on the publisher's web site (or a site or sites of your choosing), where you're presented with encouraging messages.

  Cons

  It's about as unintuitive as it can be. It blocks sites without telling you why, or what on the pages caused the block. Of course, on some sites it's obvious, but it blocked one page because of a news article that was simply providing advice to fathers about how to raise their daughters. Apparently, it saw "Dads" and "Daughters" in the same sentence and assumed the worst! It also blocked a couple of sites that were just file download sites (like, well, download.com!). The only thing I could find on one blocked page (had to terminate the program first) was a program named "Crazy Stuff" Other than that, it blocks sites seemingly at random with no explanation. This is no good. It's supposed to enhance your browsing by blocking objectionable stuff, not degrade your browsing experience. <p>It's a free program, so in this case, you get what you pay for. Programs like this give free software a bad name.

• It blocks Porn well, but some legitimate sites too.

  Kurkuleez11/7/2006

  Pros

  It blocks porn, and etc very well. I was impressed initially until the program started blocking sites for guitar tablature, and other legitimate sites it should not have blocked.

  Cons

  It blocks porn, and etc very well. I was impressed initially until the program started blocking sites for guitar tablature, and other legitimate sites it should not have blocked. When I went to uninstall it, It would tell me it could not due to the program running, even starting in safe mode did not work. <p>DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME unless you are brave <p> <p>Instructions for removal: <p> <p>Click start button <p>Click run <p>Type regedit <p>When the regedit window opens click edit at the top <p>Click find <p>Type parental filter into the space provided <p>As the search assistant locates files related to parental filter in your registry delete them, then click edit again and “find next” <p>Continue until all files are deleted from registry then reboot in safe mode (if you don’t know what safe mode is, type it into Google and figure it out) <p>When in safe mode click Control +ALT + Delete <p>When the windows task manager window pops up click processes, then locate parental filter and click (end process) <p> <p>Now use the uninstall feature in add/remove programs and then reboot, you should be rid of the program.

• COULDN'T ASK FOR BETTER ! THANKS :)

  glamourfresh9/21/2006

  Pros

  despite the negative review, i decided to try it. (and thank god i did). Extreemly flexible, simple, easy to use, modifiable, can be password protected, you can decide which sites you want to allow and which you don't, you can have it even block sites based on the words they contain. For those who are looking for a user friendly filtering program, i recommend it. I guess the negative reviewers had a hidden agenda. But the best part of it is its even FREE !!!

  Cons

  will take some time to set it up the first time to your own liking, but once done, it works like magic !

• IT SUCKS !!!!! I had to restore my computer

  chillyn7/21/2006

  Pros

  NOTHING !!!!

  Cons

  I would not advise ANYONE to download this- Once I downloaded it I could not stay within a site without having to log back in over and over and these sites WERE NOT PORN sites- I tried to UNINSTALL and could not- After dealing with this for over 2 hours- I then had to restore my computer- DOWNLOAD AT YOUR OWN RISK-
