Summary: Waste of time and money
Review: Although it was extremely fast and easy to install, it was all downhill after that. All letters and numbers entered for my password and registration number at installation were turned into jibberish upon rebooting my PC to start the program. I couldn't access ANYTHING on the program, any of the help features on Enova's website, or any other web sites. As for the Telephone Support phone number, no one answered the phone and no one returned phone calls left on their voice mail, and no response was received from my e-mail. After digging around in my PC for about two hours, I found a back way to uninstall. What a nightmare!!!

Summary: Do not buy this
Review: I am in the software business and this one is one of the worst pieces of software I have ever used. It is extremely unstable. After boot, it crashes without warning. If then you try to shut down Windows 98, the screen freezes. Try to uninstall it and the fun gets even greater. It tells you that it was uninstalled, but after reboot, no matter what user you logon as, or even if you cancel on the logon window, you find that the start-menu restriction you defined through SOS are still there. Useless.

Summary: watch out
Review: ive had this program for a while now. at first i thought it was just wonderful, it blocked all needed sites and such but then i realized it was blocking sites that i new were acceptable in my mind for example a friends site had a picture of me (a really bad one when i just woke up) and it sarcasticially said "oh sexy ;)" and SOS kidproof would not let me on to this site becuase of that reason. i understood that and figured i would just delete it untill it didnt recognize my password and i knew that was the right password! i tried many other ways to delete it and it wouldnt work! i even got my brother in,to try , whos an expert in computers and he couldnt do it either! i tried many ways and times to contact their company but was unsuccessful. i now have to live with my computer not letting me onto half the sites i wish to go on and boy is it frustrating.

Summary: Buyer Beware
Review: SOS KidProof 1.5 appears to be a very good product, according to the description of its capabilities and attributes on the package. And it does appear to do what it claims it will do. But, BUYER BEWARE! After installing it, I ran into significant problems. I am unable to access the control center, customize settings for different users, or any of the other things that made the product attractive to me. However, the most significant problem, and the one all prospective purchasers should be very leary of, is there appears to be no customer or technical support. In fact, I have to wonder if the company is still in business! I have attempted to contact them by phone, using the number printed on the package and on several pieces inside the package. That number is disconnected. I've tried to find a working number via Directory Assistance, but the number they have is also not in service. Finally, I've tried e-mailing their technical support center for help. My message could not be delivered. I received the following explanatory message from my e-mail service "Unable to deliver message to the following recipients ..due to being unable to connect successfully to the destination mail server."

Based on my experience, I'd suggest that purchasers be very, very careful installing the product because if something goes awry, you're on your own.

Summary: Junk
Review: The other reviewer is right. Do not buy this. I happen to have version 1.65 and it may be even worse. I'm also in the IT business and I've not seen many products worse than this.

My administrator password keeps resetting itself and you have to call them to get a temporary password. Of course, they almost never answer their phones.

I had to uninstall it using regedit which I'm comfortable with but most home users would not want to go through that ordeal.

I'd give it zero stars if I could.

Summary: Kidproof computer program
Review: This program locked up 2 of my computers. It would not recognize my pass word. I have spend 3 days trying to get in touch with the company that produced it and have been unable to do so yet. It seems as though they are out of busness. I have tried e-mail,web sites,phone. I am now trying to get it off my computer.
