restrictions

Well, we love having the internet at the house although the children would love to have other computers with connections so that they wouldn't have to share!!! We are going to stick to our guns and just have 1 home computer plugged-in to the internet connections. This last weekend, however, we encountered our first attack of some sort of virus or malware. It was VERY frustrating and I was annoyed with the tactic used to get us to click on the box (said it was a virus scan or something). Anyway, we called Jeff and he got us on a good malware program and we found 9 of those stinkin' bugs!!! ARGH!!! So, after that got cleaned up I set about using the free filtering program and will hope to control what sites are being visited and what items actually show up on web pages. It is a little frustrating now but hopefully our list of approved sites will get built up and the kids will be back to using the computer with ease. Elias wanted to add You Tube as an approved site but I said that I wanted to keep that under parental control because there is stuff there that shouldn't be visited (in our opinion). So for now....that particular site will only be allowed when we (the parents) know about it!
