Need a free software that will block out porn sites / sex sites or sexual content. But not a free trial. Any ideals? Thanks to all

Ideals? I suppose I do have a few, but I'm not sure why you're asking... One starting point might be the HOSTS file, but if you're looking for something like Net Nanny (but for free) maybe checkout Google's list of Internet filter freeware Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid. -John Wayne

To keep my kids out. Thanks for your reply.

Yes, well, the only surefire (perhaps even ideal) method might be to remove the power cord. That way they'll have to go to their friends' house instead Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid. -John Wayne

If you are using Internet Explorer try this: In IE go to Tools > Internet Options > Content and under Content Advisor click Enable and each category set accordingly also click the General tab and set a Password.

I'm not familiar with filtering software but with all the porn sites out there it seems like it'd be better to find software that only allows specific sites rather than disallows the porn sites. That way you could designate certain safe sites and block out everything else. There must be something like that available.

You won't be able to completely stop them. I had no trouble at all with accessing explicit images on a Department of Education (school) computer. Nor did the Head teacher of IT at the local High School have a successfull demonstartion the the librarian of how the firewall prevents the kids from accessing porn! I use a router at home. My kids (teenagers) have computers in their rooms. I just look at the router log occassionally and let them know I can see what they are looking at.
