  vkvashisthaJuly 14, 2007

  Pros

  Upto now, I have observed, it only stop those sites which are 100% porn. But as many other sites, which are not porn, but still in some cases, porn banners we usually observes. can't be stop by "web content filter". <p>Usually it's good, except above mention problem.

• Just not quick enough.

  BigChris7734January 24, 2007

  Pros

  Functions like an IE plugin...accessible via "Tools"

  Cons

  The speed in which it flags sites is too variable...some sites are blocked right away, others load almost their entire front page's content before it's stopped. Even then, the browser doesn't switch over to the "Blocked Page" message until after you move the box prompting for a P/Wâ€?leaving the front page’s content there to view for whomever it is that tried to access the site in the first place.

• Could not get program to run

  mmmartieOctober 31, 2006

  Pros

  Cons

  I tried installing the program several times. I don't know what the problem was but I could not find a way to access the program to do anything, including getting it to run - & yes I did exit all IE programs and then opened them again. Nothing. Nothing to click on in the program folder. I really wanted to try this program so am very disappointed.

• ** Editors Please review ** Best S/W for the money

  Rickee_rMarch 17, 2006

  Pros

  Does not bog down internet speed due to different filter methodology. Very small program (takes virtually no resources and very little hard drive space). New 1.2 Version now has whitelist to allow legit sites to pass through. Excellent Technical Support.

  Cons

  Some categories still need tweaking in filtering. Would like to have user defined filters for customized categories.

• Wow, astonishing ...

  XRXSWATJune 11, 2005

  Pros

  My stepson turns 13 next month and you know how kids' curiosity at that age <p>can begin to present a challenge... I'd been searching several weeks for a <p>good web content filter. I installed and uninstalled a handful of trial <p>versions. Netnanny failed miserably at blocking sites, Cybersitter overblocked sites for no apparent reason (msn.com?) or Norton Internet Security Suite 2005 which did a very good job filtering content but slowed the pc down to a crawl as well as prevented my wireless adapter from establishing communication with the router. Frustration was beginning to mount until I installed this product and I can't tell you enough how impressed I am, not only with the excellent filtering, but with the lack of any slowdowns on the PC. If you just need a good solid "set-it and forget it" filter on your kids PC this one is well worth trying (and in my case buying).

  Cons

  None yet.

  Simply and easy to use product. Simply install it and let it do its job. <p> <p>I like the fact that there is no blacklists to maintain, and I found the accuracy very good. <p> <p>I also found the product support to be very responsive.

  Summary

  This is a simple software that pretty much gets the work done! From my testing, it has a quick and painless installation, and does everything it claims to be. It keeps my co-workers protected from inappropriate content, and it is definately is a must for those who are looking for a hassle-free solution to keep the employees or family members safe..
