My husband uses it to chat and look at porn, against my wishes. Is there a setting I can put the computer on that blocks use of chat and porn.

Consider installing porn content filtering software( Strongly Recommend NetDog ,you can get it from www.netdogsoft.com  ) on your computer, NetDog will block all porn websites in the background when your husband use the computer

I think you might have personal firewall other then window xp firewall. You can set the exception port but don't know the number Check it out in yahoo.

Go to Tools, Internet Options, Security, Restricted Sites and clear it out.  Also go Content Advisor and make sure the settings are right for you.\n-MM

First of all thanks because you gave us informations about what browser are you using. Some ppl just say that they need help without giving us information about their system.\n\nIt is quite simple so just go to Internet Explorer (Microsoft's browser) - tools - privacy and choose "middle".

Have any users who are viewing adult content delete the history each time they sign off.  Or don't look at porn on the same computer your kids use.

A program will have been loaded on the computer to stop people watching adult content. You need to speak to the owner of the computer who set the password. But I guess it's your Dads computer and you shouldn't be looking at this sort of thing!!!

lol why do you need to go through all the trouble to disable it?  My school seems to block everything off of it's computers.  I even had trouble reasearching a paper about smoking because they had blocked all the sites related to smoking!  It's ridiculous!  But hey you just have to learn to live with it.

I've tried a few.  McAffee's Parental Controls and Net Nanny work but are difficult to set up.  \n\nPut your computer in the family room, not off in a bedroom where he has a lot of privacy.  Let him know you are going to log the sites he visits and if he does go to a porn site, then the computer is off limits.  \n\nLimit his time on the computer, too.  It's not good to let them stay up all night surfing the net!

Try to allow more bandwidth to chat program... your connexion should be less used... \ntry not to download while your chatting.. navigation doesn't matter..\nThese are simple hints that should work if you haven't software/hardware problems...

Download and run two programs:\nAdaware (Download.com) and Microsoft AntiSpyware (Microsoft.com)... and stay away from the porn sites.

Well, this is pretty normal.\n\nThese messengers softwares are free, but they earn money by allowing advertisers to advertise in their softwares.\n\nWhen this kindof thing happens, just expand the chat-room window, then everything will be fine.\n\nThere was a software that disables or replaces this bar, with some other bar.\n\nSearch "YAhoo utilites" in google, you might get it.

If you have a good system administrator they will always find a way to block it... the network folks can actually read every website that you are going to and see what you are doing at all times.
