Full Control Internet 1.0 is a capable tool for IT managers riding herd over Windows PCs that should not be changed in any way by their users. The utility is a little pricey and can be used in a spy-on-your-neighbor mode; nevertheless, it should prove useful, especially for shops that still have a lot of Windows 9x machines, because Full Control Internet replaces the weak log-in security found in those operating systems.

When a product has a per-seat price as high as Full Control Internets, its important to know what costs are being incurred because of unauthorized desktop re-configuration. If the answer is anywhere near $80 per seat in a year, then Full Control Internet is likely worth a look.
pSupports nearly all Windows desktop operating systems; replaces insecure Windows 9x log-in; tightly locks desktop configurations. mRelatively high cost; lacks integration with help desk and inventory tools; can be run in stealth mode.
