Publisher's description of Webroot Child Safe
From Webroot Software: Child Safe is a comprehensive and easy-to-use solution available to keep children safe on the Internet. Child Safe offers comprehensive and flexible parental controls that block access to objectionable sites, restrict PC access and keep you informed with detailed reports. You can easily define a schedule to manage each child's use of specific programs. For example, allow only the use of spreadsheets and word processing software Monday through Friday, but grant access to game playing for three hours per day on weekends. Protect your children from Internet threats, limit Internet or game-playing time, block access to inappropriate sites, and establish time-of-day access for each child. Windows Vista compatible.- See more CNET content tagged:

Editor's review of Webroot Child Safe
This program does a fine job of managing your PC's usage, although you can get easily lost in the barrage of initial configurations. Don't get us wrong, once you get Webroot Child Safe set up, you'll appreciate the way its restrictions and permissions work per user. The program is very well organized. We like the easily arranged schedules to restrict computer usage without restricting Internet access, and vice versa. Restricting programs, and blocking installations or access to the control panel is easily accomplished. Webroot Child Safe effectively watches over online use through keyword blocking. It is also easy to maintain trusted and restricted site lists. Log files are easy to read and can be e-mailed to watchful parents. Individual accounts are password protected, while the administrator account handles access program configurations. Busy parents will love the single-button approach to instantly block all access and to grant access across the board too. At install, you'll have several options and helpful instructions to get through in order to start using this program. After that, the application does all the hard work. The 15-day trial will give parents plenty of time to check out this monitoring tool.
