• Doesn't Do What it Says

  alicedi79August 1, 2012

  Pros

  Easy to Install

  Cons

  Equally Easy to discover and disable Has compatibility issues with IE 9

  Summary

  Installed it but my son discovered it and disabled it. I am not sure if IE9 supports it or not but I could not work with it at all. Installed it on Chrome and my son quickly worked his way around it. As someone suggested, Qustodio from www.qustodio.com works far better and is also free. I've always believed that a parental control program has to be complete and comprehensive and Qustodio is that program.

• Very easy to get around

  Robert_1976September 21, 2011

  Pros

  Free product

  Cons

  Would only work on the most basic users. Unfortunately most kids know more about computers than their parents.

  Summary

  Hasn't bee updated in a long time and pretty easy to avoid. If you need something that actually blocks, you may want to fork out a little cash or find another free blocker.
