Publisher's description of WallFly

From SMARTguard Software:

WallFly is a parental control application that can limit the daily time of computer and game use. It also allows for weekly budgeting of computer and game time. WallFly protects children from objectionable game content using ESRB based ratings and enforces family computer-use policies. WallFly has an extensive and ever-growing database of games so it knows which programs are games and which are not.

Version 1.298 improved security and anti-tampering measures, added better clean-up after install, and fixed error in override feature.

Editor's review of WallFly

4.0 stars
""

This utility allows parents to rein in young video-game addicts, but is much narrower in scope than other parental-control tools. Getting WallFly up and running takes a while, as you must first create a password-protected parental account and accounts for kids before letting the program scan your PC for installed games. We like that the program categorizes games and displays ratings, but its database of titles is quite small; therefore, many smaller titles are sure to slip under the radar. The program's interface is one of its strong suits, displaying a color-coded weekly chart for each user. You can grant full or partial access, allow access to games, or prevent computer usage entirely by simply checking a box. Although the application can generate and e-mail a report informing you of any unauthorized access attempts, it doesn't log activity in other applications or Web-surfing traces. We would also like to see features for restricting Web activities, since many games don't have to actually be downloaded. Parents of kids who are constantly playing video games might appreciate WallFly, but others will opt for a more versatile solution.
