Webroot Child Safe

Version: 4.2

Work well

Pros: Not sure what the other reviewer was ranting about when they said it changes your account settings. It does add an Admin account called CSCONTROL, I wish it would just use the PC administrator account, but on the other hand what if the PC was setup up initially as only 1 user probably being Admin... This would give the child your trying to stop from being able to do certain things the ability to easily bypass the safe guards. From what I have seen it does not change any settings that are detrimental to the health of the PC.

Now, functionality, works great. I even have the remote host installed (Came with the software) so that I can manage the Child Safe settings remotely. If my kid gets in trouble and I find out about it I can kill his INTERNET access from my office through SSL/VPN without even coming home.

I tried many different ways to get to porn, and it blocked me everytime. This is basically what I bought it for, when you come home and see your 10 yr old surfing porn sites it's a wake up call.

Also, I love the scheduling feature. I can restrict usage to certain times of the day, and I can also do that for his games or any other application on the PC. So I have his PC setup so that he can only play games after 6PM. This makes sure he does his homework before playing video games.

So far this is not the most powerful package I have seen, but it is very effective, and for $39 for 3 seats... is a cost effective package.

Cons: Would like to see a little bit more control over how it installs, but this is minor being honest.
