Best parental control software? - GoFuckYourself.com

A friend of mine is looking to install some parental control software for her kids.

I had the fun of cleaning up the spyware and what not on their system from them installing games and whatever else but now she wants to make sure they're not surfing adult related sites.

Any of you have any GOOD software to recommend?

k9 web protection is good if you don't want to spend money.

Don't let kids surf the web unsupervised. Make them use the PC in the sitting room where you are.

There is no parental software a kid with half a clue couldn't get round.

imho

Well it is but the problem is when they get up in the middle of the night and get on or get on while the parents aren't there. They're also getting the kids netbooks for Christmas so that's going to be another issue.

Awesome, I hear a lot of good things about Kaspersky so I'll look into this as well.
