Times Up! Shut Down That Game
Is your child addicted to the Internet? OK, are YOU addicted to the Internet? A tool that might help is Addict.
Version 2.02 of this shareware can be set to turn off any program you designate, say Solitaire or that new shoot-em-up game your child is obsessed with playing. Addict reminds you when you've reached the preset time limit and shuts off the application. It also makes sure you or the kid can't turn the designated program back on again for a specified time.
You can select several programs, the Internet, or the computer itself. Like all shareware, you are invited to download Addict and "evaluate" it for free. But if you wish to continue using it, you should register it -- that is -- buy it. Registration is simple, fast and costs $15. Even if you don't, Dear Flower Software says Addict will continue to function.
