[dba-Tech] Child's play

Andy,
I generally install Norton Internet Security for people that ask me to work
on their home PCs. Its got AV, Firewall, and a host of other goodies and is
easy on the end user. If they already have NIS on their PC they can turn on
the "Parental Controls". If they Norton AV they can get a good price on an
upgrade. Sometimes Norton offers competitive upgrade prices too.
Parental Controls can be set to allow/disallow content according to general
age and then tweaked in a manner you wish.

John

Hi folks

A colleague found her 9 year-old daughter Googling a rude word the other
day. Not such a prob but it got her thinking about protecting her child from
accessing porn sites, getting rude popups and so on. And then there are
chatrooms. God, a whole nasty world of stuff that I never worried about cos
the PC in our house is very public and anyway mine were much older by the
time they came to use it. Anyway, does anyone with kids have any products
(preferably free or dead cheap) they can recommend for this kind of issue.

Cheers
