I found the microsoft solution slowed things down, so I now use OpenDNS.
You can select what to allow, plus you get to look at what's been looked at. If you set up your router to use it it will protect all pc's, Wii's, iphones etc that use that access point.

K9 is very good, free and works well.

Takes a few tweats (easy) to allow social networking (facebook etc) but once done is very smooth.

Suffice to say that he and his little cohorts are all getting a stern talking to by their mothers today.

When I was his age a cheeky see through bra in the Grattan catalog was the apex of that type of thing, how things have changed.
