Internet Password Lock
Internet Password Lock is a Windows 2000/XP/Vista (does not work on 95/98/Me/NT) Internet security program that can block Internet access completely or it can restrict Internet access functions (Web, email, Instant Messaging) selectively Useful in for parents to protect their children by controlling their Internet access and business to control Internet use.

Web Site Zapper is a Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP software program (does not work on NT) that closes Web browsers that are displaying undesirable Web sites. It can be used for several purposes:
1) Blocking your browser from being redirected to dangerous or undesirable
sites, such as those infected with viruses.
2) Blocking popups
3) Access control, to allow parents, schools, and employers to prevent children,
students, or employees from going to undesirable sites, such as pornography
or gambling sites.
4) Controlling when people can access the Internet. Web Site Zapper has a
password protected switch to turn off blocking, so you simply have Web Site
Zapper block all Web sites until you are present and can turn off the blocking.
Parents can use this to control how much time children spend on the Internet.
With Web Site Zapper, you compile a list of good and bad Web
site titles and/or URLs (Web addresses). You can add Web site titles and
URLs to these lists manually, or have Web Site Zapper build these lists
automatically in learning mode (explained in the instruction manual).
Once you have built a list of Web sites, Web Site Zapper can
either close down any site on the bad site list (Block mode), or close down
any site NOT on the good site list (Allow mode). Web Site Zapper provides
the same function as Web Padlock, but operates differently. It has some
advantages and some disadvantages. We suggest that you try both, and see
which one best suits your needs. For more information on Web Site Zapper

Software Time Lock
Software Time Lock allows you to block access to the Internet, individual programs, or the entire computer during selected time periods for each day of the week. You can set it to block Internet access or other functions during certain hours of the day. You can set different hours for different days of the week. You can also set it to control how long each day of the week a user can access the Internet, individual programs, or the computer itself. For more information, click here.
Web Surfer Watcher
Web Surfer Watcher is a software program for Windows
95/98/Me/2000/XP (does not work on NT computers) that records what Web sites
have been viewed on your computer. Web Surfer Watcher operates hidden in
the background, recording Web site titles and URLs (addresses) of Web sites
viewed using Internet Explorer or America Online. It can only record the
titles of Web sites viewed with other Web browsers, such as Netscape, Opera,
or Mozilla. You can configure Web Surfer Watcher to either record this limited
information form these browsers, or block these browsers from running to
force people to use Internet Explorer or America Online.
When you run the viewer, you will see a list of the titles
of Web sites that have been visited. The list displays the Web site titles.
You can click on any title on the list to see the URL of the site, and also
when the site was viewed. You can then click on the View Web Site button
to actually see the Web site if you like. You can search the list of viewed
sites for specific words to simplify checking for objectionable sites.This
program can easily be run on a network, allowing you to monitor Internet
activity on multiple computers from one computer. For more information on
