Very good web filter
JGarcia51May 16, 2013
Pros
Very easy to use. Didn't slow down my Internet. This is keyword based so it doesn't need to query a database of blocked websites and I like that it can block only the pages with inappropriate content not the entire website..and you can add specific websites to a blocking or allow list.
Cons
Some false positives were blocked, but they can be easily added to the exception list in monitoring settings.
Summary
As with all downloads on this website CNET's installer will offer to install toolbars and other stuff...the original program's setup is, however, clean of any toolbars or adware.
Impressive!
WillStevenson2May 13, 2013
Pros
- Quick installation and no configuration needed. - Very detailed monitoring logs. - Completely hidden...it doesn't show in task manager or control panel..
Cons
Make sure you use the "Direct download" link below the download button to avoid CNET's installer which adds uneeded stuff...
Summary
careful with this program

Pros
works okay so far. . .unclear if it will allow a time limit per day option.
Cons
download includes unwanted toolbar extensions. . .changes your search engine . . .etc. I had to spend about 30 minutes uninstalling all the junk that came with this program.
Summary
Good Parental Controls

Pros
Blocks all adult content automatically. Too many monitoring features, probably more than the average parent needs. Unnoticeable and doesn't affect computer speed.
Cons
no obvious cons for now.
