AFA Filter Parental Control Software Review

Most parents would love to filter out some of the things their children are exposed to. Unfortunately, it's not always possible to block your child's access to "adult-orientated" materials. Fortunately, thanks to parental internet control software, the Web is one of the places we can protect our children by filtering out the darker things in life.

Parental Internet control software has proven to be priceless to parents whose children access the Web on a regular basis. Because of the increasing need for this type of product, 6StarReviews decided to test a number of different parental Internet control products and review our findings for parents interested in purchasing comprehensive Internet control. American Family Filter is one of the products we tested. Our findings are outlined in the review below.

What's New?

• New all-in-one security suite is now available in addition to the basic filter technology.
  


• The company is now offering a 10-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
  
  
• The software now implements tamper-proof reporting options.

User Interface and Product Application:

We downloaded and installed both the Internet filter and the all-in-one security suite. While neither of the programs were exactly difficult to install, they did take more time than some of the other products we tested. The complete download and install process took approximately 8 minutes, as opposed to the 5 minute download and install time experienced with the other parental Internet control programs.

Once installed, the program was quite effective, doing what it promised it would do. However, for comprehensive filtering and protection, the Internet filter may not have what it takes and the more-expensive all-in-one suite is probably the better option. In addition to better functionality, the all-in-one suite also offered a better Interface and seemed to be more intuitive.

6StarReviews Favorite Feature:

We really liked the tamper-proof reporting option, which ensures that older children won't be able to tamper with the product's performance.

American Family Filter Features:

• Comprehensive filtering technology.
  


• Tamper-proof reporting.
