| 817224 | 2009-10-06 09:30:00 | Ideal solution - one kid in wgtn is really pissed off with me :D and his parents, he wouldn't stop the P2p etc. I Installed K9webprotection (http://www1.k9webprotection.com/) - its free, easy to setup and understand. (screen shots on the "About" page of the site, 2nd picture down, shows what can be blocked.) Its password protected, you can shut down the internet connection at a time you want, and block what ever you you want, programs, sites, types of sites - the lot. you cant bypass or disable it, even in safe mode, cant kill the process, cant stop it from running in msconfig, cant remove it with out the password. Biggest down fall - DONT forget the password, you have to make it something not easy to crack / guess, But something not forgotten either. The shut down feature is good, lets say you want to block the internet at 11pm - 8am. you can set a warning say 15 minutes earlier that it will shut down. Once the time hits 11 - good bye internet till 8 am. You can disable the clock so it cant be changed as well. If you need to carry on, by entering the password, you can turn it off as a temp measure. if the PC is rebooted, the Internet simply wont load. |

(screen shots on the "About" page of the site, 2nd picture down, shows what can be blocked.) Had to remove that from a friends PC once, and his dad had forgotten the password. It was stopping it from accessing the internet at school via the school proxy. Don't remember how I did it, but man it was a b1tch to remove! Whatever you do, don't forget the password:p |

| 817229 | 2009-10-07 00:14:00 | I advised I keep a copy of the password in there customer details, in case they forgot it - the parents agreed. Funny thing, the kid rings me up about a week later saying " dad forgot the password and has asked me to call you" :lol: Nice try -- I suggested the father call me and then I'd remind him what it was ---funny never got the call :illogical |
