Figuring the filters
 
I thought I had the junk filters set so that my son couldn't access the pornography on Limewire, but for some reason, it still comes up, even with keywords and I have tried everything. I even have a parental control lock anti-virus software on my computer and somehow, someway, it is still getting in. I don't want to delete Limewire, because I like to download music too, but I am sick and tired of banning my son from the computer. Just when I think I can start to trust him, he betrays it again, and gets back in to it. I need help on how to filter this crap out of limewire, or I WILL end up banning him from the computer forever.....
Any advice anyone? Either on the Anti-virus or the filters?

Hi Mom !! I also have a teenager and something that has helped us is to go to Tools > Options > Filters > Keywords and then put in these file extensions. .wma, .exe, .rar, .html, .com, .zip, and .mov. I'm not saying this will cure the problem, but if you are aware of whats going on when your child is on the computer this will be a big help because alot of the bad stuff won't come up. If he is searching for porn, than that is a diffrent show. If that is the case maybe I can suggest a few sites : miniclips.com, cartoonnetwork.com, and the disneychannel.com would be better for him, instead of Limewire.
