Re: Freeware Porn Blocker?
 
It's actually owned by my mother (as she payed for it, but my dad calls it his), and it's my mother who is requesting this, last time I spoke to her about this subject she said "I don't want him anywhere near me when he gets aroused by that, obviously I am not good enough for him" :| on that lines.

I also pay for the internet and would rather not have such images going though the network, and he does save these disgusting images on the desktop for anyone to access.

Try the hosts file to begin with as that is an easy one to do. Also make sure you thoroughly scan the PC with antivirus, spybot s&d. spywareblaster, adaware etc to make sure it is clean. Porn sites have been known to leave trojans, spyware and even viri on peoples' computers.
Also, do you know what sites he frequents most as you can then block those URLs directly within IE or the browser.

Have a look at Naomi

http://www.radiance.m6.net/

When it decides the site is inappropriate, it simply closes IE without any warning. Also, you can set it so that the tray icon is hidden, if you want to go for the full stealth option.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Try the Parental Filter from ecommsec. I have used it on a couple of pc's, for kids. It can sit hidden and can be directed to display any page or site if you try to visit a site containing banned content or words.
Its free and small and did not seem to impact on the browser perormance.

Look here

http://www.ecommsec.com

Or here

Hope that helps your problem .. If your dad asks why no porn just say the ISP must be blocking content.. hehe . ;o)

Good luck.

In fairness, you shouldn't have to justify your position like that.
