Hello all,
Does anyone have a recommendation for a program or a method that will keep kids from getting to the internet on the family computer? I was using content advisor in Internet Explorer but that's a pain when an adult wants to get on. What I'd like to have is a way to easily allow a parent to get on but impossible for the kids to get on without a parent's permission. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

TC,
Good topic... I am experiencing the same problem.
Tonight, I had to use a RegEdit command to go into the registry and delete my Content Advisor password (which I forgot)...
I am interested in finding out about an easier application to make things a little safer for the kids to surf.
Hope all is well my friend... |

Do an Internet search for "Internet parental controls" and you should get some ideas about programs that can help. |

Hey Tim and Andy. I did a web search and got a couple of great ideas. It turns out there are tons of review sites for this very type of software. Duh. I should have figured that out. So thanks Andy for the suggestion. Tim, I hope all is well with you too my friend.
