4.0 out of 5 stars Good parental control, for 1 year., March 29, 2009

By	Lainy (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This seems to be a good parental control software that was easy to install. It did ask me to restart my PC several times, but that wasn't a problem. Where I did find a bit of a problem is getting more of a description of the product only after reading the software agreement. This isn't anything Amazon.com could know unless Nova Development would point it out to them. Or if someone like me would. (Guess I will) If you read the "Agreement" when you install the software, you'll find that what you purchased is a 1-year license for using this software. Near the end of the 1-year, they will notify you via email (it's your responsibility to make sure they have your current email address, with repercussions when they try to notify you, if you hadn't) that your subscription is about to expire. If they don't hear from you, they put the next year's subscription on your credit card. If you want to purchase the full license at the time of installation of this software version, you can pay another $49 right away and you don't have to worry about the subscription thing next year. I'm not sure if this is such a bad thing, but if you think that the price you're paying for this piece of software is it forever; surprise, surprise.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one you want..., November 30, 2008

By	T. Bishop (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent software. Easy to install. Bargain price. Each registered copy can be installed on up to three computers, allowing customized safety perimeters for multiple users on each. Safe Eyes makes it a breeze to control and monitor your child's use of the internet. After typing in all the customized data for each of my six children, I was thrilled to see that Safe Eyes remembered all settings when I installed it on other computers in our home. Now each of my children has personalized log in information that allows them safe access to the internet on any computer we own, and they can't lock me out with a password change. Even my computer savvy teens haven't figured out how to beat this software without me knowing about it. Score one for Mom!

1.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful and a Nightmare Simultaneously, April 20, 2009

By	French Chef (South Hill VA) - See all my reviews

This product works wonderfully in and of itself. It has all of the parental controls you need and the customer support is polite.

I am running this software on an XP and a Vista and a Mac machine and all three are varying shades of nightmare. I have spent over 25 hours with phone support because Safe Eyes blocks all internet communication and the answer from phone support is always the same, delete the software and reinstall it. It works fine until you reboot you computer then it's messed up again.

It is terrible with Mac, it is bad with Vista and OK with XP. I would NOT recommend this product for any other platform other than XP. After 7 reinstalls it seem to be fine on XP. On Vista 64-bit is works fine but you must follow these steps, login to Vista, sign in to Safe Eyes, have Safe Eyes timeout and say it is disabling the computer, turn off DSL, turn off computer, reboot DSL, reboot computer, login to Safe Eyes, stand on one foot, do the hokey pokey and then it works until the next time you turn off the computer, then you get to do the whole double boot process again.

On Mac forget about it. Two weeks on the phone and the answer is still delete the software and reinstall.
