Blocking Porn

Hey I need help ...

Swannie is in both a protective mommy and vengeful bitch mood tonight.

Fortuately to satisfy both urges I only need to do one thing.

How the Hell do I block porn sites from IE & Firefox?

I have warned Flash countless times about being careful if he HAS TO BE A GUY and watch smut ... But, no. Like MOST, and I say most so as not to offend, men the call of buxom porn bitches doing shit that even this swannie wouldn't attempt is too great to put on parental (or CYA) measures.

Finding Joshie watching porn once was bad, but I snarled, cursed out Flash and let it go.

Twice, I got miffed and threatened horrible retribution on the older man in this house ...

Three times ... Well. Tough Shit. It's gone, dammit. Gone.

To use a line from his precious baseball (his real wife) - Three strikes and you're out, buddy!

So tell me. How do I block ALL access to porn sites?

He is, as usual, playing baseball until midnight tonight, so I'd love to have it all set up for when he gets home.

And, hey. Don't snort at me and call me bad names for wanting to deny him his girlie-fix (cos this Swan aint enough, obviously). He can watch it - not like I could possibly stop him - but don't download it onto the DESKTOP where the kid can get it.

When my son has downloaded porn three times before he's 2 and a half ... nuh uh. It ain't cool.

And no. Denying the little guy access to the puter is not an option. I play educational games with Elmo and the crew online and Joshie is learning fast because of it, so ... yeah ...

So please help.

Norton has a parental controls feature. I think you have to set it by profile, so Cep's advice for his own user account is good.

Our kids have their own account and their own browser home page, so (until they learn to type; note to self, finish removing the letters from the keyboard and delete Typing Tutor), they're at least limited to where they start. (Most kids' sites only link to other kids' sites.)

And what's he doing putting the links right on the desktop? Is he in so much of a hurry that he can't use the regular list of bookmarks?

Be sure to "forget" the parental password once you set it.

SJ have to say I think the parental control and each having their own user account is the best way to go. Maybe if you give Flash his own account with password access it will prevent the children getting access to it also?

Short of speaking to Flash and requesting he bookmarks places instead of downloading its your best bet or better yet acknowledges he is a parent and does not download period (Yep I know thats so unlikely)

Sorry I can't be of more help.

P.s hope Flash realises what a wonderful wife he has most are not understanding or these sorts of things.
