| 2024-08-10 |  | | en | Outstanding app! It takes some tweaking to get it just right for the blocking setting you want, but once you do, it does an amazing job. The one star reviews are most likely from someone just setting basic blocking and not tweaking it when it blocks something necessary. Just like anything else, it takes active participation, not passive. |
| 2024-08-04 |  | | en | Very inconsistent. Blocks me from accessing websites, but is unable to send requests to unblock. Crashes on itself. Unable to complete academic-related research. |

| 2024-03-31 |  | | en | It does not even let me do my school work. It blocks me from Gmail, Docs, Slides, and even YT because it says it is a GENERAL website. And this stupid school times does not even let me go to stuff that my teachers told us to look at. What a waste of time:( |

| 2024-02-08 |  | | en | Tutorial to disable norton famliy: READ THIS REVIEW IN ITS ENTIERTY OR YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE IT 1. Open a notepad 2. paste in the following script: @echo off :: BatchGotAdmin :------------------------------------- REM --> Check for permissions IF "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" EQU "amd64" ( >nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\config\system" ) ELSE ( >nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system" ) REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin. if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' ( echo Requesting administrative privileges... goto UACPrompt ) else ( goto gotAdmin ) :UACPrompt echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" set params = %*:"="" echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c ""%~s0"" %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" exit /B :gotAdmin pushd "%CD%" CD /D "%~dp0" :-------------------------------------- :loop color a taskkill /f /im nf.exe /t goto loop 3. top left corner press save as 4. save as a bat file. this step is important otherwise it will not work 5. to run go to your files and find the script 6. freedom norton family will not block you as you are making a script using windows built in commands(this means you are using the computer's operating system so norton cannot block you as it thinks you are using the file explorer) Two more things: this will not alert your parents because you are basically spawn killing norton family so it does not have enough time to alert them. Also, close the script before shutting down otherwise it will alert your parents. yw btw |
