Norton Family

[AlBaymar]

I see that Norton Online Family is not locking my kids accounts when the time limit is reached.

It DOES block unwanted websites.

It DOES mail a warning that the limit has been reached and pops up a warning message on the screen.

But the actual lock does NOT happen.

Reinstalling the Safety Minder didn't help.

Windows 7 x64 bit, latest Safety Minder available.

HI AlBaymar,

When the time is up or during a curfew period, the child would get an extra 60 seconds plus another 60 seconds while displaying a warning message with 60 seconds counting down.  After that,  the child is logged out of his/her account.  The child is allowed to log back to the PC for 60 seconds and receive another warning message with 60 seconds counting down to finish whatever he/she was doing .  Later, the behavior is repeated for the 3rd time,  so the child gets about extra 6 minutes, then he/she wouldn't be able to log back to the PC without the email address and password of the Norton Online Family account.

Thanks,

Katie
