Product review: CyberPatrol 7.7

The software is easy to use, customizable, and effective. CyberPatrol offers a host of good features and filtering settings, but lacks a few advanced features found in some of the higher-performing internet filter solutions. Still, CyberPatrol offers a quality internet filtering program with some compelling features.

CyberPatrol features inclide customizable time limits/allowances, age appropriate settings, overriding as needed, and installation on up to 3 computers.

The program installation process is surprisingly quick and straightforward. Setting up individual users and profile details takes a bit of time, but is made simpler with predefined user levels for children, young teens, mature teens, and adults.

The program is versatile, but won’t take forever to set up. You can even integrate your existing Windows XP or Vista user accounts. Scheduling specific time restrictions or allotments is simple with the timegrid, allowing you to set generic time limits for a week, or specific allotments each day.

CyberPatrol can keep your children from accessing unsuitable sites, and also protect them from the increasing dangers from cyber bullies and online predators. You will be able to block inappropriate words and phrases, and ensure that your children don’t release personal information like your address or phone number.

Overall, CyberPatrol offers an easy to use filtering solution with quite a bit of versatility and utility. The software isn’t the best available, but has a unique combination of features and abilities that make it a good choice for effective internet filtering for the whole family. For customization, simplicity, and efficiency, CyberPatrol is a good overall internet filtering solution.
