Hi there,

A friend of mine is having problems with his kid going to sites he shouldn't be and using his credit card details etc.

Are there any programs that would allow him access only to certain sites? It needs to be very strict.

Preferably cheap or free.

Thanks a lot guys.

I use ZoneAlarm security suite and you can filter most things out.
You can add your card details and it wont let it be used.

Understanding the ID Lock feature

"Every time you or someone else using your computer enters personal information into an e-mail message or Web form-such as your credit card number, address, or social security number- it is possible that the information could be stolen. To help prevent that from happening, the ID Lock ensures that your personal information is only sent to sites you trust.

The ID Lock feature provides a secure area called myVAULT, where you can store personal information that you want to protect. The contents of myVAULT are blocked from being transmitted to unauthorized destinations, whether by you, someone else using your computer, or by a Trojan horse attempting to transmit your personal information.

Can't he just discipline his kid and not let him get hold of his credit card details in the first place without resorting to such restrictive measures... or is the kid beyond help?

These look pretty good.

Do you know if either of these allow to block everything and add a safe site list?

Thanks.
