Parental controls

Stingymamf

Can anyone recommend a free parental control software?

I run XP, Firefox (have already looked at the add-ons but I can't see anything I like - Glubble changes the whole browser), Zonealarm and just recently PCGuard (through Virgin Media, but I have to pay if I want the parental control).

I've tried K9 but it doesn't support multiple accounts, so have had to uninstall it.

My eldest child is 5 and is learning to read and write. He already knows what a web address is and can put it in the address bar. I want to make sure he doesn't access anything nasty in content or viruses/spyware. His user account is limited, so cannot change/remove programs etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions? If there's one that costs then please tell me anyway if you're happy with it etc.

Thanks (sorry if this is a common request, but I couldn't really find an appropriate answer when I searched).
