        <description><![CDATA[Been using Norton Online Family for the past 12 months and it's only let me down once, and that was from a really nasty hack of a children's gaming site.

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-391388-3666174]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[Yes, CyberPatrol sound very good. I particularly like the sound of the activity logging and real-time activity monitoring and the fact that you can create separate profiles for different aged kids. I might have to try it out on my daughter's PC so she can keep a closer eye on what my grandchildren are doing online PS: There are some VERY bad reviews of it posted on CyberPatrol's own site though! Hmmm... don't know whether to try it or not now?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I recently bought all three of my kids windows 7 computers (Cheap refurbished laptops on Newegg - I'm not rich...    primarily for the built in parental controls.  Most of the options listed in the above article are available with Windows Parental Controls, and I can even log into my Windows Live account from my personal computer and see usage data for each kid without even touching their computers.  The only thing it doesnt have that I really wish was available was some kind of key logger.  I have seen way to many new stories about pedofiles talking kids into doing stupid things through video game chat rooms, and I would like to keep an eye on things like that...]]></description>
