Internet parental control software?


Hey All,

Time to start looking for some filtering/control software to put on the home computers. My son is 7 and now wants to use the computer but all it would take is a few wrong clicks to end up at some porn site and I won't even chance that. We don't leave him alone but you never know when he might go in there without us knowing. Anyone have any recommendations for software. I'd also like to limit the time spent on-line.

Thanks,
Tom

I don't have any personal experience with them, but I know most internet firewalls, both hardware and software have this capablility. For a starter, you may want to check out Norton's Internet Security (I think that's what it's call) and Zonealarm (zonelabs.com).
