    This program used to be favorite weather program until version 3.0. It takes about 5 times longer to load than older versions.

    Seems to be an ok program. I didn't have any trouble with it seeing my cable Internet connection and it does work outside of the USA.

    Not terribly effieicent. Although a good Idea, to filter web contect, it takes close to 4-5 additional seconds to view a webpage. On broadband, this is something I am not going to ever get used to. Sure!...this is a wonderful tool for a parent, for for the rest of us degenerates out there that want protection from clandestine websurfers, but still enjoy 'all' web content, stick with the previous version.

    No new improvements other than the one dealing with web contect filtering, so wait for the next update, skip this one if youre 'of age'...otherwise, hope your parents dont put this on your PC! haha

    In order to register, you must supply them with a great deal of personal information, on an insecure web page, and most likely, they will be selling this information to several varied 3rd parties. Freeware??? Not hardly! It's a program bought and paid for, by filling out a form. I uninstalled it again. Tried it once before. Believe I uninstalled it for the same reason. Also, the program is unable to detect my internet connection. Probably since my firewall won't allow it. Not a secure program!
