Net monitor / blocker

I recently found undesirable pictures on my sons pc, obviously to get these pictures he had to visit websites id rather he didnt. Im after something that will restrict his access to sites like that. I can block url's within my router but i can only block a max of 10, without knowing which sites he's visiting thats not good enough. Are there any programs out there (free preferably) that would allow me to do this. I would also (if possible) like the program to run from my pc and have the facility to block what he looks at on his. Ive spent hours "googling" but havent found anything that i like. Any suggestions would be great

Perhaps you could ask him?

If he needs/ still wants to access this material, then suggest he pays for his own internet connection etc... or do it elsewhere.

Why block it? He's gonna see it all in real life before ya know it anyway

Thanks for the "serious" reply kidloco

Yes he probably will see it in real life soon, however some of the stuff he had on his pc would have got me arrested if the police ever had got too look at it ( i kid you not) - thats how bad they were..........
