I get NTL 4mb Installed on 7th Feb, just ben reading about it.

I'm intersted in the parent filter thingy to block nawty sites, but i dont want any of the other stuff, ie anti virus and firewall.

Can i install it and just enable the parental block and disable the rest? Is it even any good? :eek:
 
How old are the kids?

Very doubtful it will work for long if your kids are teenagers, no doubt they will work around it.
 
Well its for my 20yr old brother, he uses my pc for porn when im out and i know for fact. I don't like it.

Reading about it, it says you can't close it w/o the pass. And if u alt+ctr+del an end process it starts again automatically :eek:

Just wondering if i have to have all the other programs turned on to. (spyare firewall anti virus)

All these are part of the same program.
 
I use telewest PC Guard, which is exactly the same thing. Yes, they are all part of the same program, but it's all I use for firewall/anti-virus/spyware anyway and I've found it to be great so far.

The parentel controls work very well, I use it for my boy's computer upstairs and to my knowledge he hasn't found a way round it yet. I haven't found a way to defeat it when testing it either. When you 'lock' the software with a password you need to unlock it by entering the password to do ANYTHING.

The only problem I would have with it is that the parental control server goes down occasionally, when that happens it blocks ALL internet access. It's never down for long though.
 
There is only 1 account, mine. Both my brothers come round to use my lap/pc for internet! The one tht lives here goes on it when im at work and i know for a fact he uses it for things i do not like !

Even tho i built the pc with my money, i bought laptop with my money and i pay for the internet myself, i still cant say no to sharing :eek:

If i use this netguard total (which i get free with 4mb service) Hopfully it will block sites he goes on so he gets the hint. And he will know i know :)

I aint the kinda guy who can just go up to him and say oi stop goin on porn u ***** ;)

Ty for the info above DreX :)
 
:p Abit different scenario to what i was expecting... Maybe just say to your brother be careful what you go on as it will start showing up on the bill what sites you visit with this new isp?

Made me laugh mind.
 
I used the telewest pcguard one and it was horrible.

Have you not got a router that blocks words by keywords.

Suddenly if certain sites dont load up anymore it must be the isps fault hehe.

You could install software like people here mention and hope he isn't tech savvy and just turns it off.
