Hello everyone,

Sorry if this has been covered before, Im kind of new to all things Mac.

What I was was wondering was is there any way to block adult content so that children can't stumble upon it? If so how do I go about it and will it have any impact on the speed etc of my mac?

Thanks in advance

Dave

Norton has a parental block thingie which works decently well. Of course, you should still watch what your kids are doing anyhow but... it works to a decent extent.

Currently .Mac members get it for free.

Bumper Car (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=T9584LL/A) is a kid-safe web surfing tool. It ain't cheap, but it should make you very confident about what your kids are looking at. Good luck.

http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/24008 is also meant to be good. It is a "safari-specific" content blocker. More intended for employees, than kids, though.
