*** The Content Advisor filter by itself is not quite as effective as the Parental Control Bar: The Parental Control Bar works with the newer ICRA labels, while Content Advisor only works with the older PICS labels. The Parental Control Bar works with multiple browsers including Mozilla Firefox, while Content Advisor only works with Internet Explorer. The Parental Control Bar has features like Kid Tracker and is generally much more user-friendly than Content Advisor. All filters are not the same and whatever filter you install should be tested thoroughly to make sure it blocks the content you deem inappropriate.***

3. Commercial Filtering Software There are hundreds of commercial products
out there that call themselves internet porn filters that claim to block out
adult sites from your computer. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell if they
really work without paying the high costs of purchase and subscription. We strongly
recommend trying the free Parental Control Bar or Internet Explorer's Content
Advisor first. If they do not satisfy your needs then try commercial filters.
If you search Google or Yahoo for internet porn filter you will find tons of
"recommendations" for various commercial products. When you install a commercial
filter you are handing over censorship rights to a corporation that will then
determine what you may or may not view, according to its own secret proprietary
rules. Here are 3 that many use.
Net Nanny
Cyber Sitter
Content Watch
4. Things YOU can do to Protect your kids!
1) Test your filters. Once you decide on a filtering method, please test it.
Every filter you install will have some settings that you can change for your
personal specifications. If you are able to reach adult sites that means your
filter is not working properly.
2) Articles that every parent should read.
a) ICRA's
Parents Guide - Highly Recommended!
b) Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) - A parent's guide to internet safety.
c) RTALabel.org's
- Links for Parents.
d) ASACP
- Association of sites advocating child protection.
3) Clean your computer.
Even after you have installed a filter to block inappropriate websites, you
may still have traces of previously downloaded data on your computer, such as
browser history, cookies, remove any files such as pictures or movies that you
may have deliberately saved to your computer.
e) Safe
Surf - A wide variety of information sources to protect children
f) Do a search on Yahoo and Google for more on
Child Protection
The situations, actions, and reactions depicted in adult movies are NOT real.
These are paid performers ACTING in pre-scripted roles. If your life is being
effected by porn, or if your desire to watch porn is overwhelming, you may be
suffering from what some consider pornography addiction. Please do a search
for pornography addiction on Google, Yahoo or any other search engine and learn
about the steps you can take to get yourself on the road to recovery. Then follow
the steps at the top of this page to block this website and other adult websites
from your computer.
