Internet Filter, Parental Control & Filter Software | Net Nanny
You can install with the standard settings or manually set them yourself, I'd go with the standard initially but you will have to manually tweak it when you get comfortable with the program as it will block a lot of content even if the page even mentions an individual it deems to be to explicit like Eminem or a lot of music individuals which will drive the kids mad, in turn drive you mad and you will just end up un-installing it anyway!! -

06-04-09, 14:52StewieK9 is free so there is no fee and parental control is very limited you would want to be standing over the childs shoulder for the whole time they are on the PC.Quote:

Although BBJ you want to keep in mind that anybody can post anything so nothing no matter how good it is its not 100%. So for example anyone could post porn and call it High School musical, Yeah it will be taken down but that might be after your child has seen it. -
