What a load of rubbish – use the REVO uninstaller to get rid of this junk. It automates the task of deleting registry entries and files. Parental Control Bar is simply the worst software I have ever come across, that wasn’t actually intended as malware.

Thanks a lot for posting such an invaluable informative article on Children Safety in Cyberspace. I have never used this tool and after reading this article, I will never use it and nor do I will recommend this to anyone else to use.

Thanks for the Fore-warning!

I hope that you won’t mind if I post this URL in my website for further study by netizens.

The removal process is not easy. If you don’t know how to use the Windows Registry Editor, you should take the computer to a professional to have the Parental Control Bar removed. Editing the Windows Registry is dangerous and can leave your computer in an unusable state if you make a mistake.

The general process I used was to boot the computer in safe mode and log in as the local administrator (if your computer prompts for a logon). I opened the registry editor and backed up the registry by clicking the File menu and selecting Export. Next, I did a search in the registry editor for “Parental Control Bar” and “parentalcontrol”, determined whether the key pointed to something in the Parental Control Bar application folder. If it did, I deleted all the key, and marked others down as suspect. I next deleted the Parental Control Bar application folder from the directory “C:\Program Files”. Finally, I rebooted the computer in normal mode. That seemed to do the trick.
