Safe Surfing For Kids

Do you know of any good software out there that will make it safe for my little bro and sis to go on the net with.
I need it to block porn etc.
Also stop all the porn crap in hotmail!!

Appreciate any advice

Here's a site that lists a lot of programs to filter internet use...

and here's a free filter program....

I use ZoneAlarm Pro with a beta test of Internet filtering on my kids computer, but Zone Labs seem to have dropped it from their downloads and updates. Bummer, cause it worked pretty well.

I'd reccomnend Net Nanny, its what I have...well supposibly Untill I got around some things. But that wasnt easy, it blocks just about anything, cept say I could still download (porn) off of kazaa, FTP servers, etc.
