Whats the best Parental site to use?

We used to use glubble andthought it was great at the beginning as any website not on the list would send me a message saying my son wanted to access a certain site.

We took it off while OH stripped pc etc so when I went back to glubble it had changed and notfor the betteras it wouldnt even access cbeebies!

Anyway so does anyone use a good one to use for the kids?

thanks in advance
Can't think of anything funny to put here!

    we've used an app called kidrocket, only allows them on to a set of websites that are built into it but locks them in a browser/paint application so they can't mess with rest of the PC.

    Otherwise using something like OpenDNS with parental control may work

    K9 will do what you want, and it's free.

    Have you tried windows live family safety? I use it on my machine with no problems. I have previously used k9 on my old xp machine and when I tried to remove it, it cause all sorts of problems. It works great but removing it is very difficult.

    +1 for k9.

    it may be hard to remove, but what's the point of having parental control software that's easy to bypass and uninstall?
