I am trying to find something that will let me set up parental control that controls the types of sites my kids can view. I set the one up on the internet but since most of the websites out there are not rated I have to type in my password every few seconds and this gets really annoying. I have windows XP and a Dell tower. I was also wondering is there a rating system for computers that can be downloaded and what exactly are PICS Rules? I am new to the computer thing so please explain the process if ther is one is simple terms.
Thanks for all the help in advance!!

I would create a kids account, and your account.
Add that to the kids account, and not to your account.
I can not really comment on this too much beacuse I am a kid, but I have heard good things about NetNanny.

The first link is a review.
The second link you can buy it, or download it and try it to see if you like it.
Good luck!

The following site will give you a lot of suggestions. After you access the site, type 'parental controls' in the search box. This gal has a lot of good info on her site. She also has weekly 3hr call in radio show. I have learned a lot from her.

Good luck... We can not be too careful with our kids computer usage these days.
