Filtering Websites

[Camalot]

Hi all, i have someone who is using my PC to go on.....yes you know, naughty sites.

Could you reccomend a free easy program that i can use to filter unsuitable sites? It needs to be free and HIDDEN. He knows enough about computers to look though the task bar to turn programs off.

Cheers.

Yup, I don't think many people use the content certificates!

Try Cyberpatrol, it will jump in the way asking for a password but I haven't managed to find a way to get round it so I doubt he will. You can't use the obvious dodge by installing a different browser because it filters all traffic.

this might be what you are looking for...

www.k9webprotection.com/

you can set up an admin password so that it cant be turned off and it doesnt run in the task bar or anything... also it keeps a log of every single site looked up. You can set up custom filters etc etc.

Hope this helps
