Any parental control will do the basic, even the crappiest.
If he's 9 y.o., he wouldnt know how to stop it.

Parental supervision is usually 100% effective, free of charge, and has no installation hassles. It also shows parents actually care and are taking an active interest in what their children are doing online.

You can bet if I had a 9 year old with a computer and an internet connection, I'd be right there over his shoulder, watching every move he made.

Please show how parents who use tracking software care any less about what their kids are doing.

Otherwise, your post was utter crap

Maybe parents don't have time to watch over a kids shoulder every time they go on the internet. Why not have a program do it for them?

Im like ovenmaster with grandkids. im a hawk and dont know if i want to trust the software. never the less i don't think he meant nothing by it. im looking at the software myself. the kids, they are clever.

cheers........

im taking a look at software now. i'll get back later. places like pc world and zdnet may be a good source. big issue for me too..

I have used this and I highly recommend it

I use it on PC/Mac labs in elementary schools to block out internet access to kids for inappropriate content. Works quite well and it is free.

Ok, thanks.........

Net nanny is a good one. It shows what sites are blocked and then he won't be able to access them.

You're entitled to your opinion.
I'm sure parents who use tracking software "care" to some degree. They prefer to let software do their work for them instead of having an active role in monitoring their children's online activities. If they want to trust a piece of software instead of their own judgment, that's their problem. Glad it's not mine.

If I ever claimed that I "didn't have the time to watch my kids" then I'd be damn sure to find out what's so almighty important that my own kids' education and safety didn't come first in my life... and theirs.

Do some routers allow you to block content?

I know my Linksys WRT54G does...

Please note that you won't be able to watch porn on your computer anymore .

Back on topic, what is your A-V? Some have built-in parental controls.

Yes

In a way a Router is a Firewall

You can block websites, e-mails, and services
