Re: site filters

You can get software like McAfee Privacy service or Net Nanny that will block certain websites. Some are free, and dome are not. Just google "parental controls internet" or something like that.

Re: site filters

Another option would be to buy (or use if you already have) a router as most routers will allow you to filter certain sites or use filtering based on key words.
