Customer Reviews

Kidswatch Web Filtering Edition
I tried this software and it is the best parental software I have ever used. It is easy to setup and makes monitoring my children's computer use stress free. I feel confident that the software restrictions protect my children from accessing dangerous websites and inappropriate content. One of the best features is that it also allows me to set limits on when my children can use the computer and for how long. I no longer have to contend with my children arguing over whose turn it is on the computer. Kidswatch is a parent's answer to a child's computer use.

Does not really improve much on Vista parental controls
good idea and easy to install and configure, but i could never get the remote admin feature to work, and too many normal websites like google and yahoo got blocked, and the limit on total hours feature assumes you login logout each time pc is used, it cannot detect actual pc activity, so if you leave the pc on, but dont use it, you come back to find out you are locked out. I have reverted to using only the Vista builtin parental controls which cover most of the bases.

Fantastic product
I have wasted a lot of money trying to find a program that can limit internet and computer time for my kids and am so pleased to have found one that works! This product is great because I can turn off internet access from my computer for my kids' computers if they are wasting too much time. I have their internet access set to automatically turn off at 9PM every night which is great too. This product is easy to use and (unlike many competitors) works as advertised.
