Any recommendations for an application for Parental Filtering when my kids use Internet Explorer please?

Doesnt have to be free, but has to be good at its job, easy to configure, minimal false-positives etc.

Or please post info on any that you tried and thought were poor - I can at least avoid them!

Thanks.

    Do you have Vista or XP? If you have Vista it comes with inbuilt parental controls that are pretty decent.

    Itried K9 but I didn't like it as it locks down the whole PC not just particular accounts.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Hi - we have WinXP.

    Cheers for the link, I'd scanned the 2 listed. I'm undecided on K9 (hence my post) and Naomi looks poor based on this part of the review:-
    On the downside, it filters by terminating the browser session without warning whenever a banned site is encountered.

    I may research one of these.
