Vista comes with Parental Controls, But not the best parental control service you can get, Parental control in windows vista is not as advanced as that of norton internet security for example, While the later has a list of websites that keeps everything but the bad websites open, Windows vista parental control blocks everything but a few websites you allow thus limiting the users clean web experience
So Even with vista, you will need a better parental control solution, but if you do not have the budget for that, this may be a useful service
More advanced parental controls are available on the market, but they are pretty expensive

| ive used parental controls fairly often trying to block things i would rather not have my children find on the internet like nudity and other things and all you need is to be able to spell the words for it to come up with any amount of sites offered and it only takes a clik to access them this is not good enough. parental control should mean that the parent is able to block anything they see fit including open sites like bebo |

| Windows has done it yet again. They have forced you to buy a shitty product that contains a piece of crap Parental System. I tried to Google "iPhone" on my vista running computer and it showed this message "Windows Parental Controls has blocked access to this webpage." For what? just because I want to look at their major competitors product, and possibly buy a computer with their operating system? All I know is if you have Parental Controls set, that even if you have it to the lowest level or the highest level it will still block you. My mom had to lower the level because I couldn't view appropriate content. After lowering it I still can't see it! Use another service on the Internet to look at blocked content.

Subject: Vista parental controls is HORRIBLE |
| Vista's Parental Controls feature is horrible. I have it set to block porn and sex education ONLY, in addition to disallow downloads.
This results in such a large amount of sites / sections of pages being blocked that it's totally useless.
Moreover, while PDFs are truly "downloads", they are commonplace on the web today. Vista is blocking them as well, since I requested to block downloaded. Why not provide the admin with a way to define exceptions?
Clearly, Vista's Parental Controls is in its infancy stage, as it is feature-poor and obviously not working as one would expect (or perhaps it's working as one SHOULD expect from Microsoft). |

| Windows Vista Parental Control is the worst thing that can ever happen in my entire life! I am a kid that has two stupid parents that put the shitty parental control on my user!
Ya know what? I can't install videogames, can't figure the settings and can't watch porn! This is so lame! I CAN'T DO ANYTHING! My dad writes in his password for that blockade shit sometimes, but not my mother!
I'm dissapointed at Parental Control in another way unlike yours.
This is why I hate Parental Control more than you do fat adult nerd:
1. I'm a kid!
2. Everything is blocked for me!
3. MY LIFE IS RUINED!
Someday I will get my own computer and install my games that I haven't played for months! |

| Windows parental controls are an absolute joke. Maybe this is part of some grand conspiracy - to pretend to parents that this product does something meaningful...
With very little effort one can navigate to some very vile stuff without being blocked - particularly various video viewers - while parental controls block you from looking up a particular garlic prawn recipe. Somebody in design must have mixed up 'prawns' with 'porn'. |

I can't even do a fucking report because everything is blocked! Honestly, why would you block anything on history? If they are going to bother making Parental Controls, for fuck sake make one that actually blocks what it's supposed to. Another epic fail from Microsoft. |

| Does parental controls have a mind of its own? It periodically blocks a site that I get on all the time like certain youtube sites. It does this randomly. Im 18, and I really think that parental controls is a beast with a mind of its own. Pretty soon, my entire internet will be blocked for no apparent reason! I mean, it is set to block porn and M rated games. I can get on many porn sites, but it blocks most wikipedia sites! And never mind your search history, you can just tell it to ignore certain sites while simple pictures
of video games are blocked. What the hell? |
