Child protection

OK, it's about time I allowed my 11 and 12 yo boys access to the internet without having to look over their shoulders.

Has anyone got any preference as to which software to use to block the naughty sites?

Tell the truth, I haven't bothered. I have a router with a hardware firewall: you can do all the blocking you like right in the firewall without buying extra software.

I also discovered recently that if you have Vista, you can restrict Internet access times for nominated accounts.

What else? I know people who have used Net Nanny and some of the Norton stuff. Here's a recent comparison that may help

Thanks Denis, nice link. I've passed it onto several friends.
