Publisher's Description
WallFly is a parental control application that can limit the daily time of computer and game use. It also allows for weekly budgeting of computer / game time. It protects children from objectionable game content using ESRB based ratings and enforces family computer-use policies. It has an extensive and ever-growing database of games so it knows which programs are games and which are not.

With regards to WallFly's anti-hacking methods:
1. We fully expect hacking will happen and but that around 95% of the time it will fail. Of those kids that succeed, we estimate we will detect it and alert the parents around 9 out of 10 times. So, very few kids will slip by without the parents getting an alert. There are easier ways to circumvent the program - guessing the parent's password.
2. The version being beta tested has some of the anti-hacking features turned off for debugging. This beta release is aimed at enlarging our game database, as documented in the readme. However, if a user want to email us feedback as to hacking, that is fine too.
3. The primary anti-hacking notification is generally sent days or weeks after the hack occurs. To test this, disable your WallFly application and wait up to a few weeks. The purpose of this alert is to let the parents know there is a bigger problem then just "setting limits". The delay in notification will reduce the number of false alarms.
Hope this helps,

It took me 3 min to completely disable this program. All it would take is someone to post the procedure online and the program becomes useless.
They must think children are stupid !
