How do I stop my younger brother looking at pornography sites on my PC?

Is there any programs out there that are free that I can install so my younger brother can't access any pornographic websites? I found a link in my history he had visited and I am VERY annoyed about it.

it may not be that its your brother looking at it, you might have a virus or some spyware on the computer.0

Have a look at this: https://www.k9webprotection.com
It's free, blocks pornography along with other categories such as malicious sites (spyware) - all settings are password protected and you can choose what to block and what not to
I use this and it works very well, it's managed from the web browser like a router would be0 -
You can use K9 in-combination with opendns for more filtering.

Out of pure noseyness how old is he for you to be VERY (in capitals) annoyed rather than concerned or worried?0

You tell him outright. Or, you could put a block on your computer.0

Actually wait a minute. Weren't you the one who posted about your wee brother blowing a chunk of your MB float in betfair by logging in as you and putting money on a "sure thing"?
My memory sucks, but if you were, I just have to say: you still let him use your PC? Are you mental?They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it0 -
If he's reached puberty I'd be tempted to leave him to it (making sure you have virus/malware protection) I don't think there's a bloke on here who didn't look at pron as a kid...only the media has changed.Utinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant.0
