Quick Question

[Whipped]

A mate of mine at work is trying to get a hold of some software which will block porno sites etc. as he has a young son who is starting to experiment with the internet.

Can anyone recommend any?

Net Nanny comes to mind, but I'm sure I read some disturbing reports about it somewhere. Of course, I may have dreamt that.

Let him find porn. I'd be more concerned about blocking off violent and disturbing sites: porn isn't the worst of the net worries - he's going to look at it one way or another, better not waste your moeny to find him getting around it....

Looking at porns a natural thing

We stuck Net Nanny on 1 of the directors home pc's for his kid, not seemed to have any problems with it, cant hurt to try? (he was only a very casual user though)

Its not so much the images that would worry me, its the associated words and text that accompany the images. When I was a lad, if you managed to get hold of a jazz mag, it was all relatively clean, no swearing, no talk about bottom sex, or barely legal teens, any of that shite.

Don't let him find out about IRC then.

I'd actually recommend AOL, I set up the parental filter on a friends PC and it works great, can't get to any of pr0n sites, that is, the ones people tell me about

You can't get to any sites with AOL ffs

The best one for 9x used to be CyberPatrol, it was the one coded by hackers & basically if you fucked with it you'd not be able to use the OS until you enter a code which basically restored CyberPatrol to full operation. Dunno if it's still about though.

MSN.

Like AOL except without being shit

Yeh i'm sure if you look around there will be a free browser which has lots of content blocking function built into it, he could then use that to browse the inter-web. gl
