    upgrade to ZoneAlarm Security suite and it comes with parental controls. You can select which categories allowed and then put a password on. Also includes antivirus so its an all in one solution.

    Its what I use on my daughter's PC.

    Have a look on Google for "Naomi parental filter" We use this for the kids , it's brilliant & automatically closes any web page or window containing dubious content. you can also switch it on & off as you please so if the kids are not logging on under seperate accounts you can just switch it off when you want to use the PC.

    It is also free! Very MSE
    Thanks to all who post comps :A :T

    The only problem with Naomi is that it is not being updated anymore.

    We don't have any filtering software at the moment. Each of our children has their own ID, then in IE they each have a list of favourites, CBBC, Cbeebies, CITV, Bratz, Lego etc. That way they don't search for things they just click on whichever one they want. Also we tend to monitor them when they're using the net.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die


  • If you use the search button at the top of the page, and search for "parental controls", there are lots of threads on the subject.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    Norton Internet Security is good for blocking certain sites, and its easily available from most computer stores
