When installing DVDVideoSoft programs, you are prompted to install Optional Toolbar. While software developers encourage you to install it, we would recommend abstaining. The drawback is that if you choose not to install this Optional Toolbar, every time after using any DVDVideoSoft program you will be asked to install it again.

If the pop-up Toolbar Offer is annoying for you, delete the following file from your PC: C:\Program Files\Common Files\DVDVideoSoft\bin\SubscriptionOffer.exe

Verity Parental Control Software: Monitor, Track and Protect Your Child's Internet Computer Activity

I am personally not in favor of any police measures towards children, including the parental control software as educational tool. However, I do understand that family guidelines might be different, and there is no right and wrong, black and white. I also understand that Internet might be quite dangerous media for small kids. So, high demand on the quality parental control software confirms the viewpoint that this product is needed.

Today I would like to present Verity - child monitoring software allowing parents to track and monitor what kids are doing on the computer and online in an easy and non invasive way. The utility is developed by respectable NCH software.

After a quick setup, Verity will begin logging the programs being used, websites visited, count keystrokes and mouse clicks, and take screenshots of onscreen activity. All the data is accessible through a password protected web interface.

Verity gives parents peace of mind, checking what children do on the computer and protect them for inappropriate sites.

Main Features:

* Monitoring computer activity both online and offline.

* Protect kids by blocking certain websites and applications with parental controls.

* Tracking activity by user, program, keystrokes, mouse clicks and screen shots.

* Logging time spent in each software program.

* Logging websites visited on supported browsers.

* Online chat monitoring.

* Setting daily time limits on computer usage.

* Taking periodic screenshots of the active window or desktop.

* Customizable restrictions for each child by their Windows user login.

* Accessing stored data through a password protected web interface

* You can optionally set up the web interface to be accessible remotely from other locations over the internet

* Utility runs in the background so computer can be normally operated.

System Requirements: Works on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
