mmmm, that link i gave is a full free version.
As for the parental controls, sounds like your running nortan internet security not just anti virus. If its all set up and working fine you may aswell re subscribe so you dont have to reconfigure your settingse tc again.

DO NOT USE NORTON.
IT IS TOTALLY BOLLOCKS , OVERPIRCED PIECE OF SHIT THAT SLOWS YOUR PC DOWN. In the school we use AGV Free as it is the best 1 as Leckie has already told you.
