Default PArental Control software recommendations?

As per title, our kids (12 and 8) are getting into MS Messenger and are starting to surf to websites...they are having fun, we're starting to get concerned as we've no blocking software installed. Any recommendations from first hand experience? TIA.

I use Cyber Sitter on the laptop at home, works well and is fairly easy to setup. You can download a trial from the site...

Yes, it's a PC based solution I'm looking for. I checked out the Net Nanny site earlier and whilst I'm no PC slouch it does look like it's one of those programs with a zillion parameters to set before you'll be happy with it.
