Go Tools, then internet options.  Work on the security tab and content tabs.  If you have Nortons, it has a seperate Parental control tab.

Parental control for surfing the Internet. They will hate you for it but tough! You are their Parent and have the right to screen what they do. You can also buy a programme for watching everything that is done on your computer. Install a really good one and they won't even know you are watching them. Protect your kids cos it sounds like they can view anything and there are some seriously bad things out there. Your Internet Security should offer some level of censorship. Norton is good with full parental control.

What's up? Don't you trust your kids? If that's the case, you should have a parental control on their PC. The information will be somewhere on the hard drive, you will have to get an expert to have a look for you but if they have done something illegal you can expect trouble with the law.

its there for a reason then. \nif the school uses it then there purpose is so stop the usage of the internet for wasted acitivty like myspace etc.. since people who pay tax for the school\ntax payers dont want student spending there tax money on people using eg myspace, wait until you get home. \nthere is no way arround it not without admin rights

A) You would not be asking this question if you knew of the lesser known ones.  No one is going to post those here as they would quickly be shut down.\n\nB) Stop wasting my tax dollars at school!  Get off the computer and get back to class!!  No one cares about your parties.  No one wants to hear about what you are doing.  Your E-Mail is not your main priority.  School and an education is.  If E-Mail and MySpace were such a priority, get mommy and daddy to call you out so you can stay home or skip school and stay home.  That way you stop interrupting other kids learning so THEY can get an education!

Depending on how good your IT Technician is, you might be able to use a proxy server.  The ones I like best are:\n\nhttp://www.hidemyass.com/\nhttp://www.hidemyass.co.uk/\nhttp://www.ieproxy.com/\n\nbut these might be blocked by now.  These ones aren't blocked at my local school or library:\n\nhttp://www.sneakyuser.com/\nhttp://www.proxyserver7.com/\nhttp://www.vproxy.be/\nhttp://www.cpr0x.com/\nhttp://www.bnetneeds.com/ri/cgiproxy/nph-proxy.pl\n\nHope these are useful.

You should have separate accounts for you and your child(ren), protected by passwords.  That way, you can set controls for your kids and not allow them access to any important files such as work folders and such.

lol well you could always do it from home. if that dosnt work i find most schools only block sites if you type in the url www.myspace.com and try to go directly try going through google to get to it. worked reasonably well and most schools. if that donst work you will have to find out what the school is using to admin there network and find out what the admin password overrides are then reset it so you can go there. mind you in most areas this will get you exspelled and in some a large fine and loose of your computer

Haha Websense..Fun fun for me (School has it) Easiest way to bypass it is to go thru a proxy..\n\nAlso do a google search on free annoymous proxies. \n\nBTW: 85% of pages revelant to proxies will be blocked.

Ah, can you just answer one additional question:\n\nIs this to prevent your kids from accessing the sites?\n\nThere is software such as "NetNanny", "CyberPatrol" or "WebWatcher" that can prevent access to websites you dont want them to get access to, i personaly find it a challange to bypass such systems and therfore would recomend that you tell you kids that if they wish to use those sites then they do so outside of your house.\n\nAnnother option is if you have an operating system like Windows XP (VISTA has all the options you want, but is a terrible Operating System), you can install a program to monitor a certain account (to ensure they are not doing anything you dont want them to be doing, you can even log what emails they write).

pretty cheeky dude.. haan..\n\nj/k.\n\nthere aer two ways in which you can block sites.\n\none way is to enable content advisor in Internet Explorer. You can set up a supervisor password for that also. \nOpen internet explorer\nclick on tools\nclick on options\nclick on 'content'\nclick on enable content advisor\nset up the settings as per your needs\nif you wish, then create a password\nif all done well, you'll have set up a content advisor for IE. \n\nThe other way is to add the websites that your child has already visited to the "restricted sites" list\nhowever, that'll not be a perfect solution because of the fact that there will be many more sites like that .\n\nopen ie\ngo to options\nclick on security\nclick on restricted sites\nclick on 'sites' on the right\nenter the sites \nclick add\nclick ok\nclick ok\n\nhope that helps

total agreement  here... I  hate the thought of doing some kids homework for them...lol...

You are perfectly right and it is concerning.  I have seen hundreds of questions which are really homework questions.  This would certainly discourage kids from studying and finding answers on their own.  Perhaps I would suggest Yahoo to block access to users who are less than 18 years of age.\n\nIts also the responsibility of Yahoo users to direct students and not spood-feed them.
