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.
