Review by Jerome Johnston (Cybersecurity Editor)

If you are a parent having kids, then you know that children like surfing the Internet and playing computer games. The problem is that this activity should be constantly monitored and the children's computer time should be limited, so that no problems will come up later on. But in order to restrict the time spent by kids in front of the computer, you will need to tell them not to spend so much time. A much better way in doing this is to install the ComputerTime application, a simple Windows program which allows you to automatically restrict the time spent on the computer by anyone.

After installing and launching the application, the user will be presented with a simple step by step wizard, which has the purpose of configuring initial program settings. First of all, the user should set a master password, which controls all the program's settings and allows creating different users, each having his own password. The next thing to do is to enter a valid email, as the program will send constantly reports regarding the children's computer activity.

After completing these steps, the parent should define account names and passwords for each child and should also configure settings for each of them. As such, ComputerTime allows the user to define the computer hours and Internet access time for each child separately. Besides that, tokens can be generated, which can be printed and used with the program, in order to gain access to the computer and the Internet.

After making all the settings, the computer can be logged off directly from the application and can be logged in again only by entering a username and password. This login process is similar to the default one in Windows.

Pros

It allows you to control and monitor the time spent on the computer by your children, by creating accounts for each of them, which can be restricted in several ways. Besides that, the user can define the Internet access hours for children.

Cons

The configuration process may seem a bit difficult at first. ComputerTime allows you to easily control the time spent by your children on the computer, by defining computer hours for each of them.
