hello guys/parents apparently for the question to be answered properly!

 

I am in need of an application/Proxy Software/Antivirus suite or anything that i install in a pc and can allow me to do just the following:

I need to Block say Game Software from 08:00 the morning till 17:00 the evening and allow everything else all day!

Does anyone know an Antivirus suite or software that can do that?

thank you.

i know about the windows parentals. they dont cover my need of allowing games ONLY From 08.00pm to 10.00pm. i dont neeed then to be able to play2 hours period BUT at certain time in the day. And because they dont use the PC only for games they do their homeworks and lessons i need that activity to not be blocked by that software. unless i am messing in the wrong section or havent seen a button in their site for that.

This seems to be something what AV suites nor Windows does. They do it the other way around (time limits), but not scheduling. Odd.

 

Found couple of software which could work for you:
