If you are using Internet Explorer (yikes!! ;-) there are settings to filter content.

Start/Control Panel/Internet Options, then click the tab for CONTENT & enable the Content Advisor.

There's an older thread on the subject here.

If you have google you could also make sure that safe search is switched on

go to the google homepage and click preferences, you can have strict filtering, moderate of switch it off to allow any sites.

Its normally on moderate as default


EDIT- moderate only filters out images whereas strict filters out text and images

Just to the right of the search box, there is a option to go to Preferences, scroll down and you come to SafeSearch Filtering, choose the filtering level you require.
