Let me humbly suggest that the healthy desire for porn sites isn't the root of the problem. The root of the problem is lack of user education. Tell him about http://youporn.com, and warn him not to click on any of the advertising links. Then tell him to do this using Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Then install VMWare workstation (free download) and put a Linux distro in it. Tell him to run that when looking for porn. If he does come against a bad site, it most likely won't infect his Linux guest because it was certainly written to affect Windows, and it won't affect Windows because it has no access to it. Or, make him a live cd that he can boot up and browse porn sites to his content, with no fear that his hard drive can become infected with adware, spyware, or other nasties. Make sure you give him a roll of paper towels, toilet paper, or at least some coffee filters to go along with the porn-safe package. ;) Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
