Q: I have a customer that their system does not appear have adult content. I have never used one of these software titles before, but certainly in time once I have kids Ill be an expert in that has become the best. So far Im not sure if their system is tapped with garbage. But given their system is clean and they just do not want to see if accidentally purposesly see adult content, what is a good program to use or should I just back on IE block content?
Re:These blocking programs require their filter lists to be updated pretty often, correct?
Re:cybersitter
When I was looking a few years back, it was rated in the top three, and was the only one without subscription fees. It allows you to filter content by topics, and claims to be able to block types of traffic such as newsgroups, peer-to-peer programs, image searches, and others. (I never seriously tested it for this stuff)

So be aware that any solution will only be useful for things which voluntarily identify themselves as such via name or metadata.
Some people want the filter so they don't "stumble" upon it. Don't think you can pull up photobucket in searches.
No, but you can click on a link in a forum… As if that never happens? Not to mention a forum that allows pictures to be pasted in and could be hosted from photobucket and display pornographic pictures.

Re:A few choices, you can throw in a Smoothwall Firewall with a Content Filtering plugin. This software is Linux based and free, requires minimal hardware. My smoothwall is a P2-350 with 192MB Ram -> www.smoothwall.org
Commercial software like SurfControl (www.surfcontrol.com) that can be deployed in many different ways…
