CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This program provides parents with a reliable tool for shielding their children from objectionable material. We should note that to try the program, you must surrender your personal information at the developer's Web site--a requirement we found a bit objectionable.
Nevertheless, this program's features and performance impressed us. In our tests, the application proved intelligent enough to block almost all pornographic sites, yet to allow, for instance, scientific articles on nudity. We were impressed with the wide variety of filters--ranging from adult-only topics, such as sex and weapons--to potentially malicious e-mail clients and search engines. Also, you can control when a user is allowed to surf the Web. Not insignificantly, it blocks the use of popular instant-messaging applications and even multimedia players, too, though in our tests the pop-up blocker didn't work very well.
Safe Eyes is well-protected against deactivation and uninstallation, and its settings can't be changed without a password. Although many full-fledged PC-monitoring suites offer much of the same functionality, Safe Eyes 2006 still will help parents sleep easier at night.
Publisher's description
From InternetSafety :Safe Eyes 2005 parental-control software provides all of the protection needed against undesirable material on the Internet. Using SafeBrowse.com's content-filtering technology allows you to ban access to certain types of Web sites. The integrated pop-up blocker automatically closes annoying ads that appear when you visit Web sites. In this version you now can monitor all of the Web sites a user visits, and logs can be reviewed anytime through a Web-based portal. Safe Eyes 2005 also contains time controls to help you control time spent online. Best of all, Safe Eyes 2005 is the only Internet control software that will call you on the telephone when access to undesirable material is detected.

Version: Safe Eyes 2005 3.5
Pros: I do not know what to say: Nice features ... nice user interface BUT ... see the cons
Cons: The user interface is moving extremelly slow - it looks nice but has no usaubility.
The functions are performing correct BUT again the speed is suffering.
And the installation process is a killer. You have to enter all your personal data on their web site ... huh ... I do not undestand why ... BUT ... that is it

Version: Safe Eyes 2005 3.5
Pros: It does block stuff pretty effectively.
Cons: Buggy. I'm now having trouble getting my username and password to work. I've emailed support three times now about various things not working right. The Icon in the taskbar tray won't stay put. Sometimes I log on,it's there,other times it's gone and you need it to access the program log,to right click on. Also,I tried to change access for a user to allow blocked content and it wouldn't do it even using the admin password. Folks,I've had this thing,version 3.6, now for about a week and have had nothing but trouble with it. Now I can't even get ON it TO change anything because of this password access bug! I've disabled everything that could be hindering it,firewalls etc to no avail. Support does contact through email but they ask silly questions like 'what site are you trying to access?'. Well,if it were your biz I'd tell ya! When I cancel the blocking for a particular user I expect it to be cancelled,not act as if I don't exist! It's too buggy for me to suggest for others....

Version: Safe Eyes 2005 3.5
Pros: Seems fast, decent blocking.
Cons: The Admin has to log the kids in every time they want to get on their computer. I told it to save login, but it didn't. All attempts to find help documentation on this failed, (their docs are poor). Attempts to email the company went ignored.
