Hello,
I am new to VB and am trying to make a program that will search all websites that IE/Mozilla loads and look for bad words and then close IE/Mozilla and add the domain name to the hosts file. I don't have a clue how to do this so I need suggestions.
Note, This is to protect children from inappropriate material, it is not to make a virus that blocks antivirus websites.

There are already a number of programs that do this. Why do you need to start from scratch?

Because all the programs that I have seen cost a lot and I am trying to make one that I can release as freeware

What you may want to do is make a toolbar for IE/netscape. I don't know if it is possible in vb, but you can do it in c++ and possibly any flavor of .NET (vb, c++, c#, asm, j++...)

also, you could create your own webbrowser in vb6 (by imbedding IE into your app) and then you have complete control over everything. (in fact you could replace images that come from specific domains or have specific alt tags with your own images and/or text with your own text) This is know as using the shuh-doc-ee (shdocvw.dll)
[NOTE: shodocie is available in vb6, borland c++, vc++6 and all flavors of .net as well)
Hope this helps

I have been considering making a proxy in VB that would only allow connections from localhost and setting the proxy in the browser as localhost, I could build the filter into the proxy.
Does anyone have an opinion as to the feasibility of this?
