I have 2-9yr olds, and a 5 year old. They seem to have a knack about getting yahoo toolbar, weatherbug, and the like installed on their computers. They even seemed to have google desktop installed.
I took a course in Windows 2000 Networking. But I have forgotten much more than I remembered. I plan to reformat and re-install WinXP Pro, and password protect the Admin. Will creating them their own account stop them from installing these bogus apps/malware?
What rights do I take away/give them?
Also, can I make IE or Firefox to where they can't access porn? Or do I need to get a program for that? Any recommendations on the program if WinXP Pro can't handle that?
Incase in matters. We have 5 computers networked. Mine, my Wifes, and the 3 kids.
