Web content filter

[BlueSpud]

I have 2 young kids (5 & 7) who have stumbled accross a few risque websites recently. Is there a half-decent free web content filter out there? Anyone recommend a product.

Try the following;

The Internet Advisory Board ([broken link removed]) have published a booklet for parents to help them appreciate Internet safety called “Get with IT” ([broken link removed]. It is quite good and includes a useful list of resources at the end.

There is also the Webwise site which has a good range of resources, such as a 20 minute video () and also information on social networking sites ([broken link removed].

Other useful websites
(Safer Internet Day website)
Http://www.makeitsecure.ie (Irish Government website on internet security)

I have used K9 for some time now and find it very effective - offers a variety of settings levels to protect kids and also gives a detailed account of internet activity including sites visited, dates and times etc.
