PC TimeWatch is a parental control software that manages access to the computer. You can define a set of rules for every person who uses the computer. You define at what time and for how long a user can access the computer (logon hours), run applications or connect to the Internet. Parents should discuss these rules with their children.

Once the rules are accepted by everyone, PC TimeWatch enforces them automatically, thus defusing any conflict between parents and children. Parental control doesn't necessarily mean intruding into the "private space" of your kids. PC TimeWatch is not a spy program and does not log activity - it just controls access

Just answer 4 simple questions and PC TimeWatch takes care of the rest:

- Who has access to the computer and to its programs?
- What programs are restricted?
- When is access permitted?
- For how long can the restricted resources be used?
