Happy Memorial Day weekend!
My sister works in a store and her co-worker spends the day viewing porno urls. This is no commentary on porn. But it ties up the one computer in the store. Is there a way to surrepticiously block access to the porn urls? I know of, but have never used off-the-shelf products like NetNanny, and am curious if there's some code or other means that could be added to do the trick. Thx!

Besides a software program, there is only one other way to get it to stop: Have his boss tell them not to do it! regardless of what it is if your at work, you should be working and not surfing around. But this comes from someone who has to watch over 30 plus employees who are supposed to be answering mail orders and not surfing randomly.

Well, if it's software such as NetNanny that my sister will have to go with, has anyone an opinion of a good program? The guy viewing the porn instead of working is no computer guru, so I wouldn't worry about him cracking the program settings.

Thx!

Has she tried enabling the content advisor?
I know it can be a pain,but we had several people in my dept downloading full length pornos on one machine!
They thought they were smart in that they put their own password on that machine before
I got to it, But...two words"registry hack" http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif
They got pissed when they tried to go surfing and couldn't even get to yahoo's page! Our own I.S people couldn't bypass my password and I think they ended up deleting and re-installing IE-4. Ha... Mp
