blocking my partner from !!!!!! sites

Hide the computer when he is out and when he comes home tell him the Police have been around and taken it away as it may have been used to view minors (make sure he is standing on lino) and you will help him get to the Police station.0

I don't think she has given the real reason for trying to prevent him. Another User account would help if she was really okay with it.As above, create another user account in Windows..........
.....If you don't mind him looking at !!!!!! but "not on my computer", install a decent virus checker and let him knock himself out
A very good suggestion, which I use myself when browsing the web and not for !!!!!! sites.Deleted_User wrote: »I find browsing within a sandbox easier, simpler and equally sufficient.
Did you know that you can get your PC infected from Ads from Google while browsing almost any site and not just !!!!!!?
Overall from a security point of view, installing Sandboxie and creating a new Limited User account in windows and then running the browser in a Sandbox will prevent anything unpleasant happening with the PC and would eliminate any reason you had for preventing him.......the real question is, do you really not mind him looking at !!!!!! or was it more than you made it out to be. Were the reasons for preventing different from what you say? Is it not because you are afraid of what might happen to your PC but more because he is doing it and you feel threatened by it?
Is he subscribing to these sites and if so who's credit card is he using?
If he asked you to stop watching Eastenders, Coronation Street or any of the other pap you probably watch would you do it? Or would you watch the repeats while he was out?
[Note] I don't really bother with !!!!!! sites and have never paid money to one so I'm not siding with him. It's just that I believe the reasons given are not what they are. You know have any security reason for stopping him removed, let's see what happens.0
