Web Filtering Software

[voyagerfan99]

I have a customer at work that owns a small hotel. He has a computer for the customers to use for such things as reading online newspapers, maps, entertainment around the area, etc. Some people abuse the use of the computer and look up porn and whatnot. Since almost anybody [including small kids] use the computer, he wants to block access to porn sites. Does anyone know any good programs we could recommend to him?

There is a program called Netnanny. This program is for Internet website blocking and i believe it might be for programs too, not entirely sure though.

With netnanny, you add websites and keywords that you do not want people to be searching, i.e porn...etc. Typing this in will block the keyword "porn" from being searched. When people search the keyword or website, they are automatically transferred to a screen saying that the website is blocked. I have found this program quite useful and it works really nice.

Here is the link to the website if you want to read more about it: http://www.netnanny.com/

Also available through netnanny is small business filtering, Here is the link:http://www.contentwatch.com/products
