If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
the web sites authors voluntarily rating themselves, and if they don't,
you'll probably have to allow unrated sites. I would recommend another
solution for web content filtering. www.netgear.com once sold some
firewalls that contain content filtering, though some of them had 6 month
trial subscriptions that could not be extended. Some solutions are here:

Having said that, I believe you can make it harder to defeat the Content
Advisor settings, if you are using Windows 2000 or XP. Make new user
accounts for your children that are not in the Administrators group, and
make sure that only administrators have permissions to change the files and
registry values that pertain to Content Advisor, all else should have just
read permissions. The files and registry values you need to protect are
described in one of the links listed here:
