website monitor/blocker

A member of my family keeps getting their browser hijacked and loads of spyware onto thier PC whilst at the same time insisting they are doing nothing wrong. I'm the one who has to fix it each time and now I'm getting tired of the excuses. Can anyone recommend a piece of software (preferrably free) that will log all websites that are visited without the user knowing - I don't a big pop up window telling them they are being "watched"!
Also, is there some decent software which can be used to block content specific websites, again without the user knowing why or being able to disable/uninstall it??

Thanks

How about not fixing it in future...i'm sure they'd prefer you offering that than you snooping on them.

Yes, Network Monitor for Employees is decent, but the trail lasts 30 days and you can see thier screen live. You could also try a keylogger (some of the decent ones remember URLS, logins, etc)
