UFicle: censorware question by FNORDer 2009-08-24 04:56:33
I have a friend whose ten-year-old was recently exposed to some less than savoury sites by one of his friends and she would like to install content filtering software, but is at a loss for what to use. Money isn't that much of an issue within sensible limits (nothing in the multi-hundred dollar range of course), but finding something that's easy enough for two less than technical parents to use and not too easy for the kids to circumvent would be good.

Suggestions from parents are welcome.
