Version: Safe Families We-Blocker Parental Control 2.0.1 build 88
Cons: Painfully slow program with 0 customizable preferences.... it really just sucks all around. To top it off that password thing is really rediculous. I read the reviews so I assumed it wouldn't be too great but boy.... you lose or forget that password and you are screwed. Terrible program...

"Excellent and Very Customizable Filtering Software"
Pros: The software blocks Web Sites based on web address and keywords. It is very easy to customize the software to each user using the computer. There are options of setting age range, categories, and passwords for each user. The software is updated from a database (you may also submit sites to be added to the block list) and Safe Families We-Blocker will not become outdated by addition of new web sites to the World Wide Web.
Cons: I just have to be mindful of what my password is, and not lose it. But no real cons, I suppose.

"do not use this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Pros: looked good at first but.....(see below)
Cons: if i could give it a zero i would!!!!! it blocked everything (even safe sites), it would not store my settings and kept logging out of the user in a short period of inactivity... then when i tried to removed the programe it asked for my password and i used the one i used to log into master user it did not match...i tried the default password and that did not matchso i had to get creative.... i also as i search i saw i was not the only one this happened to ( wish i saw this first) and when i tried to remove it, it started to trip out....on top of everything else it was soo slow (and made my computer slow too)

Version: Safe Families We-Blocker Parental Control 2.0.1 build 88
Pros: Nothing. I use firefox and the software did nothing to block any of the restricted sites.
Cons: The program installs without first registering you. Therefore, you are not issued a master password. This is how they scam you. To retrieve your password you have to pay a $10-$25 phone support fee. It will also not allow you to uninstall this program without the password. Luckily I was able to restore my system to a previous checkpoint. UNEXPERIENCED USERS SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT THIS PRODUCT. Also beware of other "freeware" that they advertise on their sites. They make it seem like they are a "Christian" group trying to help people but they are really a bunch of scam artists.
