Child Control for Windows

Used Child Control for Windows?

Developer’s Description

By Salfeld Computer

Keep track of the time your kids spend in front of the computer.

Salfeld Child Control offers a solution for managing children's screen time on Android and Windows devices. It allows parents to set daily, weekly, or monthly time limits, with the device automatically shutting down when the limit is reached. The software can also block specific programs or apps after a designated time. Web filtering options are available to restrict access to inappropriate websites or limit time spent on certain sites. Parents can access and manage these settings through a web portal or a parent app, and usage logs provide insights into device activity. "Roaming" enables time limits to apply across multiple devices, and bonus apps and time vouchers can be used as rewards for completing tasks or homework.

Good Idea - But HORRIBLE Program - Totally DESTROYED my computer! STAY AWAY
June 6, 2008
Pros
Great Concept
Cons
The program literally DESTROYS your machine. It conflicts with every aspect of your computer. It gets so bad that you have to end up re-installing your operating system. I re-installed my Operating System and purchased Child Timer. Never had any problems with it.

Excellent !

Child Control 2007 CRASHED and LOCKED my system! Beware!
kimanjoSeptember 29, 2007
Pros
Well, it looked okay when I first downloaded the trial version, BUT...within an hour of customizing the program it totally shut down my system and locked it. I couldn't even get into Safe Mode to open it back up! <p> <p>I am running Windows XP and my husband got into the hard rive and uninstalled the software program--to now avail. Then, he did some other thing with F8 and got into Safe enough to boot up the system, but it keeps shutting the system down again. <p> <p>I am guessing--at this point--that there is a software conflict and when it lokcs the system at the preset times, it REALLY locks the system. We uninstalled the software but I am going to re-install it (fingers crossed) and change the times on the users so that everyone defualts to the original settings. For some inutitive reason I suspect that the times I adjusted for my users are "stuck" into my XP system--even while the software is removed--and they will not unlock until I reset them with the software. <p> <p>Bigget problem is that this company is in Germany and you can't just get on the 'phone and start calling tech support!

Best child safety Software I have ever seen
lpinto100July 9, 2007
Pros
Had a problem loading the software and was amazed at the quality of service for a trail usage which is better that what you get for most software that you have paid for. <p>If you have kids and want to keep them protected, this is the best you can buy . Amazing features and options and quite complete.
Cons

Summary
A great program... that just doesn't work.
ale_jrbMay 3, 2007
Pros
The idea for this program is great - it does what Windows Vista does, combined with what various third party filters do, and then does a bit more! <p> <p>The interface, while a little complex at times, is quite intuitive, and if you read the help file, it is easy to understand. It has loads of features, that all work well with each other, and this program SHOULD have got a four of five star rating...
Cons
... however, it got one star from me. Why? It just doesn't work. Not in that it doesn't do what it's meant to - as far as I could tell, it was working. The problem was - I couldn't see very far, as the program KEPT CRASHING. <p> <p>I first installed it on my Windows XP machine. I've tried a number of programs like this, and often recommend them to clients, and I thought this one might become the top of my recommended list. I fired up the program, and it seemed to be working! It detected all the user accounts, and enabled me to set up settings for them. It was all very neat. <p> <p>I closed it to the system tray to test the web filter. I opened up IE and it blocked my homepage as expected. Then stopped. As it wasn't doing it anymore, I opened up the settings box to try and see what was going on. No luck - the box wouldn't event open. I closed it and opened it a few times... it decided to terminate svhost.exe without my permission and Windows restarted itself, before rebooting telling me that 'This error was caused by software you recently installed. We strongly recommend you uninstall this software.' Oh dear! I decided it probably wasn't worth it - that can't happen to a client even once, seriously - so I went into the control panel to uninstall it. <p> <p>The uninstall panel opened and asked me for my password. I gave it, and it loaded the install program... and crashed. It terminated explorer.exxe, which Windows restarted for me, then WinLogon.exe, which made Windows stop responding... then svhost.exe again, so Windows restarted again. This was repeated twice more, just to see if has any effect, before I was forced to boot to safe mode, just to get rid of it. <p> <p>From there, I noticed that you don't require a password when uninstalling from safe mode, so that's an easy security measure to bypass. <p> <p>Oddly enough, it never reached my Vista PC. All in all, very disappointed. I would advise against installing it if you do not know how to deal with error such as this - just in case it happens to you.
Summary
Very good but...
wisedriverApril 27, 2007
Pros
This has done a very good job of PC time on/off, internet time on/off. Easy to set up and use. I use ZoneAlarm for filtering. A lot of people seem to have poor experiences with this program. I haven't but...
Cons
...but the time control feature (my main reason for purchase) seems to be failing. This MUST be a fault of my PC because another excellent product, ComputerTime, also failed after some time. That company did not know the reason for the failure and couldn't help me correct it. This company, too, hasn't been able to help me fix the problem. Extremely frustrating.
Summary
VERY DAMAGING, AVOID
oogzyDecember 14, 2006
Pros
Looked good at first.
Cons
I installed the 30 day trial to have more control over the amount of time my kids were spending on online games. The program looked good at first, although the timer settings were a little complicated. The problems hit the next day. <p>My son told me he was having trouble with the PC, and naturally i thought the software was just doing its job. I was wrong, this program had virtually imploded and left me with no task bar, start button or running anything from the desktop i could not access the program either. I could open some desktop folders and in desperation i managed to navigate to the control panel where i managed to uninstall the software. It uninstalled but left my PC locked up. As a last resort i turned to system restore only to find the program had DISABLED SYSTEM RESTORE without my knowlege. I tried then to repair windows using my XP disc which then showed a FATAL ERROR half way thru install. Thus my PC was from that moment on useless. I have yesterday had to format my drive, losing all my data in the process thanks to this bug riddled program. Please do your homework before using third party trash like this. Any program which can infiltrate your hard drive so deep it switches off system restore without notifying you is a huge risk. Avoid this one like the plague if you value your PC.
