It's really tough and is an online one that you can get. Had it on the all the office computers at a church I served on staff at. <br/><br/>If you want a good tracker, it's not free but good, try covenant eyes. It's pretty tough too. You check out the "More Pics" pages on MySpace or Facebook and you get reported to your accountability partner. Keeps you honest if you keep it on.

Just a simple image search will do it.<br/><br/>Both of my kids are in high school now, and we no longer use a filter--we use the x3watch software. It's not a filter; it just records questionable websites that are visited.<br/><br/>Filters and trackers are both very good ideas. I think the most important thing to do is be involved with what your kids are doing. If their chatting with others on-line, make it your business to know who their talking with.<br/><br/>We also have a policy about leaving the history on for Yahoo & MSN messenger.
