More instructions in this thread: Direct instructions to eliminate porn from results

There's no way to completely block adult content from LW. Some people mislabel porn files with innocent names, and you won't know what it is until you play it.
The user (your kids ..) can change the filter at wish. Limewire does not even provide a minimal protection like this. By the way this would be far then secure, but better than nothing.
Since the programmers do not think of it despite many and many request and questions on the subject, it could be they are putting themselves porn on limewire ..
