Summary: Terrible tech support
Comment: I would advise NOT buying this software. I have contacted the company 4 times for help in resolving an issue, and I never got any kind of response. If you buy it, you should pray that there are no issues for your computer.

Summary: Good product, but be aware of the hidden $29.95 annual subscription fee
Comment: After using the software for one year, I am satisfied with the functions and ease of use of the software. However, I am totally surprised recently to find out that for the web filtering function, there is a $29.99 annual subscription fee, which in my opinion, it is a total rip off. What's the purpose of the software without web filtering? It's cheaper to buy a new one than paying this fee every year. The fee is not listed anywhere on the box or product description. Here is the link to their FAQs:[...]

Summary: After two years of glitches I'm giving up!
Comment: I have Windows XP and this is installed on two computers. This software has prevented my kids from accessing the safe websites I have listed forcing me to bypass everytime so they can access them. What's the point then? On bypass mode it won't even list the websites or computer files accessed, much less the time period or date. Additionally, it will cause glitches on the admin's side and I can't access my own programs. Also, it will randomly shut off the settings I have customized for the kids forcing me to restart the computer. It will say "the settings are locked by another process". I'm uninstalling this expensive piece of garbage today and replacing with something better. do not waste your time. I did for two years and it was just ridiculous.

Summary: easy install and set up
Comment: The program works well
It will take some time if you plan on using it on more than one computer for all the set up. You will need to setup users on your computer so you can have a kids watch admin.
I would recomend this program if you need to set up times for your kids use of computer and internet. On the filering that seems to work well also but can't say how well, at this time I have only had the program for a week or so.

Summary: Time and Money Bandit
Comment: I bought this because of its' high rating, but after two years of owning this software, I am not sure what other people liked about it. It was difficult to install, and every year it shuts off internet access until you pay $29.95 again. I have had this installed for two years and I have had to pay it every year. I use it on two computers for my two kids. Every time I paid this I had more trouble. It seems that paying the extra $29.95 is not enough to get it working again. I had to call customer service each time to get it working again, and so, twice a year, I have to spend hours on the phone to customer service to get it working again. (I have to do this once for each computer per year). Learn from my mistake, Avoid this money and time bandit. Maybe they call it "Time Control" because of the time an adult has to spend trying to keep this software running.
