sorry about that < I should have know better for as much as I post ,,,,

someone im doing some system work for wanted me to setup a fire wall or something like it that will only let the sites that she wants to be accessed on her system. The problem is her sone gos online with her system and looks up porn. infecting her system with Malware/spyware/trojans and more. Its a problem. I tryed setting up a router and do it that way but when I push save it stops her from getting online all together. my question is , Is there any sofeware that will block the internet totaly , but just let her sites thru.




Thanks
Chris

There are programs like Cyber Patrol (not free) if she wants to stay with IE7

Fire Fox isn't necessary, though it can make like simpler.
What she needs is parental control software that is based on a white list and that will shut down the browser if an inappropriate site accessed.
