| 848382 | 2010-01-13 13:54:00 | My son is 15 years old and he recently got a computer in his room that he is supposed to use for school. I went on 2 nights ago to check the history and there was a whole bunch of porn sites with naked underage girls. I talked to him about it and he said he didn't know why he was looking at it. He said he saw something on youtube.com and clicked a link to it. I'm afraid that the pc may get infected from viewing these websites, and could affect my other pcs which i use for email, internet banking, credit card transactions. How do i block his computing from accessing these sites? I have tried parent control on Bitdefender Anti-virus but i assume he just disables it to get to the blocked sites. |

| 848385 | 2010-01-13 17:27:00 | He is a teenager and a boy as well.......... Maybe he did click on something that took him to porn or he may be clicking around experiementing, at 15, on line porn is easier to get and free than going to the bookshop and paying whatever for a magazine to hide under the bed. But in the meantime, until at least he can show some control and good computer savvy, maybe bring his computer into the lounge or dinning or other common room where he can be monitored in what he is accessing. There are various blockers available but many tech savvy kids seem to be able to bypass them. Was in a computer shop yesterday ordering some stuff, a lady came in with her teenage son to pick up there laptop, they had removed double digit virus's and a stack of malware/spyware, the lady seemed surprised that the laptop had been infected till the tech explained where they could have come from, then the penny dropped and she started to lose the plot and give her teenager hell. |

Hi Ollie if Vista or Win7 then create an] limited user account for him and password the admin account but don't tell him the password, then you can use the built in parental controls Windows XP, i initially made him a limited account but he complained because it couldn't install programs without admin.

| 848389 | 2010-01-13 19:43:00 | Don't forget to scan the computer for viruses. A good, free antivirus would be Microsoft Security Essentials. Cheers :) |
