[IsHrAt]

Well I have computer at home. I am married and have kids at. My kids know to use computer and I am afraid of that they might access internet without my presence. As you know that there are porn sites on the web. Due to such dirty websites it will affect my kids. I don’t want my children to get such bad habits due to which when they grow up such habits should not affect their carrier. I have heard that we can block the porn sites or the sites which contains Virus. I am using Google Chrome in my PC. So let me know if there is anything through which I can block the sites on Chrome. Thanks in advance.

You can also block websites from viewing or from harming from data loss of Pc. You can block sites with the help of antivirus software. You need to install a antivirus software in the computer. Install Quick heal Internet Security 2011 in your computer. Buy a licensed version from a hardware/software dealer near you. After installing it and updating till date, it will protect your Pc from Virus and will give you protection to your computer. It automatically detects the website before opening, if it is a Adult/porn site then the message appears the website contains harmful material. It will warn you about the Website. Through which kids will not be able to watch porn sites.

some websites need to be blocked since they contain explicit contents. To block a website manually you need to go to the preferences menu of your current browser and set privacy settings to Strict!

Hello,

Spotted this forum thread and thought id point you in the direction of OpenDNS.

It provides Category based content filtering and can be applied at either Router Level or Device Level.

You have two options (Home DNS and Family Sheild)

Home DNS is a little more complicated to setup but gives you better filtering control.

Family shield blocks Pornographic & Adult Content and is preconfigured to do so with no additional configuration required.

Both of these services are 100% free and will give you the filtering you desire.

No matter which way you choose to go if you need assistance setting up either there is a dedicated community of opendns members who can point you in the right direction.

I hope you find this helpful.

Many Thanks
