Okay, so far I've been doing all my Frets on Fire stuff on school computers or at the library. At home, my parents took the Internet off my computer and said I'd only get it back when they found a foolproof program to ensure that I'd behave online and not spend hours on end connected. What I need is a program with good parental controls so I can get online again.

I'm new, so if I'm breaking any rules by asking this, please let me know. If I'm not, I need suggestions.

Thanks.

Any Internet Security pack has parental control functions. They may limit the programs you use, the hours you connect, etc.
I use Kaspersky, really pricey, but you can probably find a alternative within other sources... :)

I think my parents've heard of Watchdog, and we've tried bSafe, too. Kapersky; my parents don't like pricy stuff, but it might work with Christmas around the corner and all. Any more?

I meant OTHER alternatives... Certainly not Torrents or warez... :)

Hm. Depending on your ISP, you might already HAVE parental controls available. Just depends on who supplies your internet.

My parents know I can access the computer's parental controls very easily, so that's out. I haven't heard much about Net Nanny, but I just now looked it up; it might work.
Other alternatives, I got that now. Thanks so far. You guy are a big help.
