How do I decide between Win Control, User Control and Child Control?

Win Control can secure just about any internal Windows function in order to prevent changes to a PC's configuration. Win Control makes it possible to prevent changes to the desktop wallpaper, something that users often replace for frivolous reasons with another image that might be more attractive or perhaps less appropriate. With Win Control, you can also explicitly control which applications can be run and which cannot. In sum: Win Control is the ideal tool for preventing changes to your computer. What Win Control does not do is monitor use of the Internet, such as prohibited keywords, sexually-oriented websites, or specified prohibited URL's.

If you have a need to monitor Internet usage, User Control is the perfect complement. User Control's purpose is to block very specific applications and subjects as determined by the user (for example, games and applications that the user has downloaded). User Control offers only about 30% of the system controls available with Win Control. If you have a need to limit the use of Internet Explorer, User Control can recognize certain prohibited keywords or even prevent access to specified pages, or allow access only to authorized pages. User Control is compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Netscape Navigator Versions 7.1 and up.

Child Control is the ideal software when it comes to setting time limits of any kind. PC use time and Internet time can both be restricted. Various limits, such as a daily, weekly, and monthly time allotments, can be in effect at the same time. It is also possible to define specific times when either PC use or Internet activity is not allowed. Child Control can regulate Internet activity through either keywords or a whitelist. You can also specify which pages are prohibited or authorized. The product also offers a detailed log of PC activity(what was done when, and by whom), and a few system restrictions, such as the ability to limit access to specified directories
