Latest Product Reviews:
Mobicip: CNET, Mar, 2010 (Full Review)
Summary: Mobicip offers more than enough protection that parents can rest easy. For a mere $5, you can keep your kids from accidentally (or intentionally) wandering into the Web’s red-light districts. I’m sold.
Net Nanny: PC Magazine, Feb 2010 (Full Review) (**** 1/2 of 5)
Summary: Net Nanny remains PCMag’s Editors’ Choice for traditional parental control. It does everything you’d expect and goes beyond the competition in real-time per-page content analysis and resistance to attack by budding hackers.
McAfee Family Protection: PC Pro, Dec 2009 (Full Review) (******of 6)
Summary: The blocking tools offer impressive flexibility. Our teenage tester was thwarted from accessing porn via Google Images, nor could he perform searches for sexually-explicit material
Safe Eyes: PC Magazine, Feb 2010 (Full Review) (**** of 5)
Summary: Safe Eyes 6.0 is a very good parental control system. If you need a product that works on both Macs and PCs, Safe Eyes is your best choice.
PC Pandora: PC Magazine, Feb 2010 (Full Review) (**** of 5)
Summary: While it does include limited blocking of Web sites, PC Pandora’s real purpose is comprehensive activity monitoring. Parents can view everything their kids do on the computer; employers can likewise monitor employees. It’s a powerful tool that can be used for good or evil.
KidZui: Common Sense Media, Nov 2009 (Full Review) (**** of 5)
Summary: Parents will like that they can monitor kids’ activity (what sites they visit, when they add a friend, and for how long). Kids will like the user-friendly graphic interface and the ability to tag sites and share them with friends.
Peanut Butter PC: PC Magazine, Dec 2009 (Full Review) (** ½ of 5)
Summary: Peanut Butter PC’s two aims are to amuse your kids at the computer and keep them from doing any harm to your files. Though this version includes more interactive elements, it doesn’t strike me as exciting enough for a toddler, and a kid could still accidentally break out.
