When the kids are older, I"ll have something. Right now, I have parental controls set through my anti virus so if you search on "naked" it won't work for you. It can sometimes block legitmate sites that I would use but so far, nothing the kids would use.

Also, it's important that your computer is in a family area like the living room and you have access to and/or watch your child as they are on it. My son is 10 and I haven't allowed him to "google" anything yet. He is just allowed to play games on certain pre-screened sites that don't allow chat. I do know he goes to friends houses that don't have the same rules. You just have to keep communication lines open and discuss freely. We don't allow rated M video games for the kids but my son openly told me he played one yesterday at someone's house...sigh. I was glad he shared because we discuss why it was Mature (his thoughts about it).

I know about NetNanny but haven't used anything other than anti virus stuff at this point
