I can use my computer at any time without worrying about someone seeing what is going through it or getting into private emails that are not meant to be seen outside our circle (which happens all too often). This software allows me access even when away so there's no need to worry if you happen upon your kids using their computers in another room! It does take up some extra space but nothing unbearable really - just something worth noting before purchasing this product because sometimes they have upgrades available which will make things more user-friendly as well.
