Parental Control Bar – All Aggravation, no help

Removing Parental Control Bar

I removed the application by booting in safe mode and then yanking the files (C:\Program Files\parentalcontrol) and registry keys manually. Always back up your registry before making changes. To find the registry keys, do a search through the registry for ‘parentalcontrol’.

Summary

I won’t use Parental Control Bar and I can’t imagine it being useful to anyone else since it blocks nearly all sites including Microsoft’s website, the Microsoft Bing search engine and about 60 other common sites that do not possess content labels, is unstable, unreliable and defaults to letting the kids surf anywhere they want after a crash.

UPDATE:

First, there seems to be some confusion that I’d like to take a minute to clear up. I don’t make the software, no do I have anything to do with WRAAC.org or the ParentalControl Bar. Second, removing this software is almost impossible unless you are, like me, a Windows expert and know how to safely edit the registry. If not, get something like the Revo Uninstaller. Third, if you want a parental control application to manage your children’s web surfing, I HIGHLY recommend Bluecoat’s K9 Webprotection program.
