Question Securing PC for teenage web access?

Our teenage son (13yrs) has just started to use the house PC to surf the web and talk to his chums on MSN. We haven't as yet set up any restrictions on the web access and I don't know much about what MSN can be used for. Can anyone suggest any suitable applications that would restrict or monitor what's being accessed.

System is already firewalled and virusproof.

Thanks

Cyberpatrol isn't free, but pretty comprehensive.

You can limit time, programs and even words.

www.cyberpatrol.com for more details.

Can be a little intrusive though.

13 years old, that's when their ears stop working isn't it?
