Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Kidswatch trashed my computer--be careful with yours! Comment: Here's my review of Kidswatch: I downloaded the free trial of Kidswatch, and although I could configure it, I was surprised to see Kidswatch could only be used to monitor my kids if I bought Kidswatch (not exactly my idea of a free trial to let me configure users, hours, etc. but still not use it to control my kids' usage until I pay). So I talked to the kids, who decided to create their own self-monitoring log, and I uninstalled Kidswatch. Thought I was done. But wait! Now all users cannot access the control panel, including me!! It's gone! If I search on "control panel", it appears, but if I run it, I'm told I cannot run it because of restrictions on the computer, and to check with my system administrator (I'm at home, and own the computer, so this means check with myself). I contacted Kidswatch technical support, and they had no solution for me. Thank you! I am using a new HP Pavilion computer with Windows Vista Ultimate operating system. If just installing it and uninstalling it does this, I cannot imagine how much it trashes up your computer if you buy it and activate it! Good luck! Customer Rating: Summary: Useless Comment: The product was impossible to set up and ridiculously cumbersome to use. I returned it. Customer Rating: Summary: Does not really improve much on Vista parental controls Comment: good idea and easy to install and configure, but i could never get the remote admin feature to work, and too many normal websites like google and yahoo got blocked, and the limit on total hours feature assumes you login logout each time pc is used, it cannot detect actual pc activity, so if you leave the pc on, but dont use it, you come back to find out you are locked out. I have reverted to using only the Vista builtin parental controls which cover most of the bases. Customer Rating: Summary: Better Than Being the "Screen Police"! Comment: The kids can argue with you all day long about more computer time, but when the computer shuts down automatically after a pre-determined amount of time, it's final! I love this program. It's not quite as intuitive as I had hoped, but then again I'm no computer genius . . . Customer Rating: Summary: Sounds good in theory Comment: This product probably works great, but I've not actually gotten it installed/set-up completely to thoroughly try it out. I want to use this on my Vista machine, and Vista is a bit foreign to me to begin with. I procrastinated in installing it after it arrived, and then when I did I can't say the installation screens were too clear on what exacty I was doing. Shortly after the install we started having problems getting to the internet. The computer would just chug and chug and chug. I'm not sure if this product was the reason, but I ended up uninstalling to try and remedy the problem and haven't gotten around to re-installing. I have two children ages 8 and 5. During the set-up I was prompted to set-up a password for each user. I'm not sure if I had to, but there weren't clear instructions on what the purpose of each field was, and whether it was required. Needless to say, the 5 year old was confused and required assistance each time he wanted to just use the computer to play a CD game. This became a bit frustrating for both of us. I'm sure this product is great-- I was impressed by previous user's reviews. I've just not been successful in understanding how to properly set this program up.
