ComputerTime is parental-control software that lets parents set limits on the amount of time and the time of day when their children can use the computer. SoftwareTime believes that the computer is an amazing tool for children, both for educational and social purposes. However, children need to have reasonable limits set for them, and that's what ComputerTime allows you to do, quickly and easily.

  ComputerTime

  Ability to share network limits and ease of use make it stand out.

  Pros: Contrary to what the editor added about difficulty in removing, ComputerTime has always had an uninstall feature that even integrates with Windows Add/Remove control panel. But to prevent kids from uninstalling it, it will prompt for the ComputerTime Administrators password so that only a parent can uninstall it.

  Version 3.0 introduces the ability to share a single set of limits across all of the PC's in your home (when you purchase it with the Family Pack). And when configured this way, Time Tokens can be created and used on any computer. No more having to create separate token lists. Version 3.0 is more stable and resolves some of the occasional conflicts with other security software as well. Also protects in Safe Mode. Worth checking out the new version in more detail on their site.

  Cons: Kids might not like the software inititally, but they'll thank parents for it down the road!
