Ofcourse a Trend product :P
Seriously, k9 is probably just as good or better and it's free :D

Might cost, but it's very very effective. :)

i`m with mrf71 on this. why would one pay for something that has a free alternative?:angel:
 
You can try Bitdefender Parental Control:

Or you can try Norton DNS or Open DNS !
 
It says you need BitDefender AV 2013 for the Parental Control.
 
If I were to setup a computer for a kid I would most likely go with a virtualization application.
Here is a quick setup for a kid : Avast 7 Free + BufferZone Pro + Norton DNS (You can setup the parental controls with this DNS) ... a Limited user account would be a good option while it can be annoying sometimes,it's definitely a solid layer of protection.
Here is BufferZone at work:


Other products that can be run with Avast Free would be GessWall or Returnil both have free versions which can be used... nevertheless I still like BufferZone Pro better:D
I've tried to suggest a free security setup however if you have a 32bit system and some money to spare , DefenseWall or ShadowDefender are also great options.

You can get free parental control from Microsoft with "Windows Live Family Safety" and it is one of the best available.

Windows Live Family Safety is a part of the Windows Live Essentials package. You can get it from Windows Updates or manually download and install from this Link

Enjoy!!:D
 
One thing about BufferZone, at least on their last version when I tested, under the firewall settings they had by default deny any connection. I couldn't get any browser to work. Moving the rule down would work (no need for restart).

BufferZone is actually a decent program:)

By the sounds of that it's similar to Trend Micro Online Guardian for Families.
 
I found this

Could someone show me a screenshot of the processes of K9 as well as an example of a blocked site? Thinking of recommending this to a family member.
