    Bro I just realized this when I was on my other account but after I wrote my review a few months ago, CK removed my review from here bc I could not see it on my other Google account. This needs to be taken down It's weird that it monitors everything on your computer and or takes screenshots of it every 30 sec to a min its annoying and weird. But fr just let kids be kids, yes I get you want us to be safe online but fr just let us play games on our computers. Use this for freaking good not to torture kids. Take this down, it's weird and annoying.

    Our school recently installed this as a new "Filter". Needless to say it's doing a horrible job. Every day kids are finding new proxies to bypass this horribly made system. Also, this piece of trash, 1: Slows down the computer. 2: "Initializes" every page if left idle. And 3: drains battery life. I managed to kill my computer's battery in one day, IT WAS AT 75%. So yeah, this thing sucks, delete it now.
