Check out their quite easy and powerful content restrictions.
Suggestion: Have someone else have the password (or half and half with a spouse) and do the following:
Lock installing apps + remove browser + add apps you need (possible rules: no games, no sports, no entertainment, etc.).
[Occasionally an app will have a built in browser/or need to access a certain website - just go back in to settings (with password) and add that website].
There is time restrictions and more features too.
(May not be enough for teenagers - consult your own advisers - this solution sure beats doing nothing and there is no excuse)

Technically it is since it is monitoring all your usage.

Installed k9 on my new dell inspiron (win 8.1) and computer crashed and restarted EVERY time I used internet for more than a few seconds. Issue went away as soon as I uninstalled k9. Any similar experiences? Any advice?
Thanks

What virus protection do you have? I've heard of filters sometimes interfering with Antivirus programs.

You may want to contact K9 support.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I use Avast (the basic free version) and that is what I used on my old computer, with k9. for years without a hitch...
I will try to contact k9 support though

Interesting that it's not working now! Maybe it's a new version of K9 or Avast, or who knows what?

Good luck! Don't forget to let us know what happens...

Avast always conflicts with k9.
You have to go into avast settings and exclude k9.
GIYF for step by step.

So I have to download K9 first. Is that correct?

Interesting that the k9 website says that, while k9 support emailed me this:

Thank you for contacting K9 support. Currently K9 and Avast are conflicting with each other. To resolve this issue please follow the instructions below:
Go to the Avast Console.
Turn off Web Shield.
You may need to wait a minute but you should be able to get to the internet now. Please let me know the results.

Regards,

Any thoughts on why they told me to shut off Web Shield vs. excluding k9 as per the link above?
Wouldn't shutting of the Web Shield entirely leave me vulnerable?

Sounds like one feature of Avast is the issue. Hopefully you don't need that feature.

Thread on avast forums - https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=159243.30

...claim that excluding k9 does not solve the issue. Are they doing something wrong?
Also to DanH pls excuse my ignorance but do I have to uninstall my avast then use your 1st link?
Also how important is Web Shield (what is it?)? Is it not recommended to disable it entirely?
Thanks

I can confirm that Avast 9.x works just fine with K9.  I can also confirm that 10.x does clash with K9, resulting in computer crashing as soon as browser is opened.  I can also confirm that above issue does not get resolved if excluding K9 in Avast.  I'm also pretty sure I can confirm that disabling Web Shield in 10.x does not solve K9 clash.

Yes, uninstall all previous versions, and install the one from the link I provided above.

Regarding Web Shield - it really depends on the person and computer, but leave it on unless your computer is acting slow.  I *do* recommend unchecking everything else though.  Nothing should be checked but File and Web shield.
