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 2006 include Internet Filtering based on 35 categories, keyword or phrase, and your own custom list of site. Safe Eyes also includes Instant Messenger and Website logging which can be saved locally on your computer or remotely to our secure servers where it can't be tampered with. The Time Control feature of Safe Eyes allos you to set times of the day when the Internet can be used, and a daily limit for time spent online. In addition to blocking websites Safe Eyes can block P2P filesharing, Instant Messengers, Media Players, and any Internet based application.

Version: Safe Eyes 2006 4.2
"Effective, but needs some polishing before I buy"
Pros: Installation was fairly painless but I had trouble logging into the administrator account to change settings. You can go online to see what sites your kids have been on. You can limit what times the internet is available. Multiple usernames allow you to have different settings for each kid.
Cons: Requires connecting to their system to make changes to accounts. A few times it would hang there and not do anything. Time monitor tells kids how much time is left but you can only extend it if they still have time. You should be able to extend it even after it has run out. Un-installing requires uninstall code which you can get online or by their automated phone system. I tried by phone but it kept telling me it couldn't generate one. I found out you can still access the SafeEyes website and get even though the trial had expired and it kept asking me to login to SafeEyes. Just hit cancel and it will let you on their site.
