Default blocking porn on the internet

There are MSN MVPs, mostly found in MSN forums, of course. You can also
change the default search pages. Plus, there's Doug Knox's lockdown
techniques.

Is there an Mvp who would know??

i.e. who knows the most about "msn".

Can't tell you much about it. I've never played with it. However, IE

itself
has some content control. Perhaps a password protected access to the
internet is part of that.

Thanks for that,

Can I set up a password to limit access to internet explorer, i.e a

log
on
password before a search.

Cheers Steve

Might try ETrust's Internet Security Suite. It includes Parental

Controls
which are intended to filter out objectionable content. Not sure how

it
works, whether via whitelist of blacklist, but it's worth a try, eh?

They
have a discounted offer here, (might have to scroll down, it's below

the
stand-alone antivirus offerings.)

Hi there,

We are on win 98, and are using MSN uk as our home page/browser.

We
have
other browsers in our favourites list, i.e google, Alta vista,

etc,
for
specific searches when required.

My son, just turned thirteen, is obviously coming to "that age"

when
guys
realise that girls are that little bit different, I don,t mean

that
they
just take all your money and eat ALL the chocolate.

He is obviously becoming aware and is having education at school,

we
answer
all his questions (some of them you feel like saying "go ask your
Mother"),
we have books at home that cover the subject and will read with

him
and
explain when needed.

Yesterday, whilst we were watching the Olympics, "J" was on the

computer
playing a game, - bored with that he decided to go on the internet

where
he
sometimes plays other games or searches for what his heart

desires,
usually
about space etc, the only computer in the house connected to the
internet
is
in the lounge, as we do not like the idea of "J" being alone for

hours
on
his own on the internet.

But, yesterday he typed in the word "virgina" in the search window

and
got
a
bit of a surprise, basically an endless list of disgusting porn

sites.
He
later told us what had happened, as he is usually very honest, and

we
asked
him to show us what he had done, WE explained the dangers of the
internet
and that we wanted to keep him safe and that the internet was just

like
the
world, there are safe places to go and very dangerous places,

there
are
safe
people and dangerous people, etc,etc

I had a look at the sites he had visited and they were in my

opinion
"hard
porn", and although I am average and open minded with regards to

"that
sort
of thing" i.e I am not a monk, we would not normally bother with

such
material.

Pandora's box has been opened and although "J" understands, we are
worried
about the ease with which this type of site can be accessed,

sometimes
by
accident.

What is the best way, in your opinion, to limit /block access to
unsavoury
information without affecting our searches.

p.s We have a private I.S.P ( my brother in law runs his own

company
and
rents a large amount of server space to host customers web sites

etc),
so
unlike AOL etc there is not the add on bits and pieces like

screening
and
anti-spam etc.

Many thanks for your help,

Steve.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your query (it looks like lots of
suggestions are coming in), but thought I'd point out as it might save some
confusion sometime - unless the above was a slip of the tongue or electronic
equivalent:

MSN uk is (I think) an internet service provider. They have presumably set
your browser to start on one of their pages, i. e. as its "home page". The
browser is very likely to be Internet Explorer; other browsers include
Netscape, Opera, Firefox, and (IIRR) AllByOne.

Google, AltaVista, etc. are search engines; you can use (most of) them with
(almost) any browser. (The fact you mentioned "favourites" does indeed
suggest you're using IE as your browser, as Netscape calls them bookmarks
[and stores them differently].)

Hope that is helpful ...
