Uninstalling parental filter software

I installed the trial version of the parental filter software on my computer, and it's blocking my internet connection on one hand, and on the other hand, I can't uninstall it even though I used CCleaner. I can't find it in the CCleaner application to remove it, nor do I see it in the uninstall a program menu of the Control Panel.
What should I do to permanently remove this software from my computer?
Additionally, I would like you to suggest another parental control software to monitor children's internet access.

Thank you in advance, and may God bless you.

    Hello,
    I tried with Revo Uninstaller but I can't find it in the installed programs that appear in the form.
    Moreover, the advanced option doesn't yield anything.
    What should I do?
    Thank you in advance.

    OK

    Before moving on to something else, you need to disable this boot control on the machine.

    To do this: >Start >Run >Type MSCONFIG and confirm with >Enter

    In the Configuration window that appears, click on >Selective Startup

    Then click on the >Startup tab (at the top of the window) and in the list that appears uncheck the application that launches at startup.

    Confirm and reboot the machine, which will now open without the unwanted application.

    Download Total Uninstaller for uninstallation: https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/utilitaires/22153-total-uninstall/

    More powerful than REVO.

    Best regards

    Hello

    Even simpler

    Perform a restore to a point before the installation of the said software

      System restoration allows you to revert to a point prior to the installation of this software

      The most recently installed software will be removed during the restoration

      Yes, that's true, but with this type of highly intrusive program, it will inevitably leave traces that could be harmful.

      Parental control modifies browser behavior and internet settings, and unless uninstalled (and even then, I'm not sure), not all modifications will be erased.

      That's why I recommend uninstallation, knowing that a restoration might be enough to resolve the issue.

      Thank you for the proofreading ;-)

      If the uninstallation doesn’t work, we will suggest system restore :)

      Sure thing, lilidurhone!

      Furthermore, personally, I would do a manual clean-up of the registry via Regedit, but I wouldn't recommend it here!
