    My parents are about to get a parental control program called WebWatcher.

    Here's the website:
    http://www.webwatcherkids.com/

    And I need some ways to bypass this piece of software...


    A couple questions:

    1. If I install XP on a new partition, and keep this software on my Vista partition, can it see what I'm doing on my XP partition? (Important)

    2. Are there any non-supported browsers?

    3. Does it monitor programs too? (Important)


    P.S. I am not going to abuse these bypassing methods. I am only using them for reference.

    I think your parents put the parental controls for a reason.

    Thread closed. You seriously need to have a talk with your parents about honesty and listening to your parents.
