I just thought that you guys might want to know that there are VERY good software out there for monitoring your kids use of the internet. In school we use a software tool called Web Sense to block offensive sites.
At home since my own young'uns are growing up to fast for my own liking I have been looking around for some good parenting software if ya know what I mean ;D
Here are my top choices. They have been reccomended by PC magazine and some other forums that I have visited. Thought you guys might be interested.
No. 1 on my list

Cool software provides in depth control, I especially like the bit where they can control P2P software for those of you who dont know what P2P means all you need to know is it is going to screw up your computer so read on!
It also controls the time and amount of time you can allow your kids to be online surfing and chatting..sweeeeet...... ;D
Like most other good parental software, it keeps logs of what your kids are doing online too. Like sites they have visited and stuff ike that.
A plus is you buy one license you can install on 3...legally, how sweet is that!!!!
No. 2 on my list

A bit expensive a bit techy one cool feature it kills the monitor once your kid's time has run out on the PC hehehe ;D
Last but not least No. 3

Good for kids that like to surf adult sites, this software actually measures skin tones on the web page and blocks it!
Let me know if you guys are using anything else on the web and how you are protecting your kids online.

P.S. XP has some neat features too but not as rich as these.
