Question Reccomendations for net nanny softwares & PC lockdowns.

Hello, I now have a nice shiny new PC, which has XP on.

I also have 3 kids.

kids - pc don't get on too well, they tend to go on kiddy game sites & I suddenly get a virus etc.

So with this new one (never been on the net yet) I want to lock it down so that we cannot get a trojan/virus etc dropped on it, no screensavers etc.

I also want to be able to control & review what websites they are going to.

What freeware software can you reccomend?
What paid software is better?

I have winlock, adaware, spywareblaster, avg7, spybot s&D, all ready to install & will be behind a Belkin wireless modem/routers firewall.

AVG I will have autoupdate daily & scan regurally, spywareblaster I will do regurally.

Years ago I used to have to have my youngests desktop replaced every bootup (hundreds of "new folder" on it ) but now they are old enough to make thier own desktop wallpaper & themes, I just want to be able to stop them installing stuff & esp screensavers & games off of the web.

Your advice is appreciated.
thankyou,
Zoombini.
