A question that comes up a lot from computer users with younger children who access the net is ‘what child protection is good, easy and affordable?’
Well, I think I may have a contender to fit the above criteria
It’s good {been using it on various machines for months now}, it’s extremely easy to use, and its free {which should cover affordability 
}
The software I speak of is K9 Web Protection – www1.k9webprotection.com
K9 Web Protection is a free service…I say ‘service’ because the way it works is the sites you visit are filtered through their servers as opposed to being checked by something that’s installed on your computer…also, another good thing is that K9 doesn’t slow down your web surfing, which similar softwares sometimes suffer from.
You can manually enter sites into its settings to have them blocked or allowed, and if you happen to land on a site that is blocked but you don’t think it should be, you can override K9′s decision for 15 minutes by entering the administrator password or choose to override it permanently.
All-in-all I consider this an excellent piece of software, doing exactly what it says on the tin…for those in need of such software, grab it while its free, as it may not be free for too long.
