  I registered an account here just to write this comment. I don't work for this company or anything, I just had to get a good positive review on here because this software is great! Don't listen to that other guy jekwok, this program IS in English, DOES NOT have a virus, and there is no password when you start it up, just hit enter and leave the username as "admin" and it starts. You are supposed to set a password the first time you run it because it is a network monitoring and filtering program and you don't want anybody to get in there and change the settings, duh! And also, programs like this SHOULD be difficult to delete so the people you are filtering cant just uninstall the program. Its all in the help file, which is very detailed and in-depth. I almost think jekwok is like some little kid upset or something because his mommy installed this program and he cant look at naughty sites anymore. Don't listen to him. I downloaded this because I was trying to block access to all pages that contained certain keywords, and I knew there had to be a free program to do it somewhere, and this app does not disappoint! You can put in *any* word, even using wildcards around the word to block all derivitaves of the word in the address bar, or anywhere on the page. for example, if you put in *sex* with asterisks, then it will block any page that has the words: sex, sexy, sexilicious, buttsex, everything. There are so many options on this program, i havent even messed with them all. you can run this on a gateway computer, and it will filter traffic to any computer connected to it. and the coolest thing, is the logs it stores. Once you make a rule for what to filter, it saves a real-time log of sites that were blocked, or allowed, including the time, site attempted to visit, whatever. In fact, you can even set keywords for sites that ARE allowed and look at someones browsing history and they would never know. there are also handy-dandy download and upload meters. and the best part, is that its free, and a very small download!

  Cons

  I may have looked over the option if it is there, but it would be nice to have an option to disable the system tray icon, but hey, for being free I can't complain. you can't stop the program unless you know the password, which is a good thing, but it would be better to be stealth. HOWEVER, if you use this program in gateway mode, then you only have to install it on one PC and nobody on the other PC's would have access to it or anything.
