Answer #4

Throw the computer out the front door so it smashes into a millions bits of useless matter, then run over it with your car, set it on fire, mail it to Fiji and then have someone have someone throw it in a volcano.

Or you could find some software online or at a store, OR you could have some groud rules that say he can only be on the computer in your presence.

Trust me, when my kids start to use a computer this won’t be a problem for me. I mean this sincerely,,, If my kids were looking at something online, tv, radio, cd, that I didn’t approve of, I’d throw it out with the trash. My parents did that with me and it took that for me to see just how serious they would be about it.

Answer #8

Ok if your still using internet exploder, you can go into the your internet options, and under the ‘content’ tab hit ‘Enabled’ under content adviser, then set it up from there.

One problem with it tho, is if the site doesn’t have a ‘rating’ you can’t load it unless the check box that says ‘load unrated sites’, but a lot of web developers don’t rate their sites.

Its better to use firefox and get an addon that blocks sites based on their actual content. The one I have installed on my parents computer is FoxFilter. Works pretty dang good.
