User reviews

VERY IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ The main complaint I saw in the reviews was that there was no way to automatically whitelist all websites, making it hard to research and use your computer normally. In reality, all you have to do is enter this into the list of whitelisted websites: .com .org .edu and so on and so forth. every single website ending in any of those three letters will automatically be whitelisted. Hope this helps!!!
