Hi Chris. Although not free I have Net Nanny installed on my kids computers.

It works in either black list or white list modes, with regular balck list updates available.

It also allows you to block chat room access, etc.

PS and it has time blocks available, so they can't sneak onto it in the middle of the night. . .

Try saying that when you're drunk

Just got my sister enabled on broadband and installed all the usual firewalls / anti virus etc. She would like to use some form of software to control kids access to the Internet. Any recommendations? If it is freeware all the better.

Thanks
Chris
