25 million American men use Internet pornography at least one hour a week, but most wives have no idea.
9 out of 10 children between the ages of 8 and 16 have viewed pornography on the internet. Most parents have no idea.

We don't even need to convince you that internet pornography is a problem.
But we do want you to know that it is your responsibility to protect yourself and your family.
You would not leave pornographic magazines on the floor of your house with a warning “do not to touch!” When inappropriate material is just a few clicks away it is as easy as picking up a magazine off the floor. With the use of internet filters you remove concerns of accidental exposure or temptation.
We gladly recommend the following filters. You can check out each one by clicking on the banner ad below.
BSafe is very powerful filtering program and nearly impossible to outsmart. No matter what internet computer program is used, BSafe will scan the URL to see if it is “approved”. It comes with a host of options and for a small extra fee you can use it on 3 computers.
Net Nanny is the world’s leading parental control software. They have a broad set of safety tools available. Net Nanny has a unique feature where it can block web pages and non-encrypted e-mails with offensive language.
SafeEyes is an internet filter for both Mac and PC! It has all the bells and whistles with the huge advantage of logging Instant Messaging. If you have more than one computer (you can load this on 3 computers) this is the best bargain. You can also set the amount of time per day your child may be on the internet. But don’t be fooled—this is not a cut down filter!
Content Watch is another very powerful filter. They advertise that it is now 400% faster than their original program. Content Watch is less expensive that BSafe, but must be purchased for each computer. Content Watch offers a free program entitled ContentCleanUp which helps you safely detect and clean your computer from objectionable files.
iProtectYou Web Filter and CyberSieve are offered by Soft For You. These filters enable you to control internet sites and even which software programs may have access to the internet. While other programs limit times children may go out on the internet this program allows you to differentiate between programs and times allowed. So for example you can allow access to school sites at all hours, but cut off instant messaging at 10:00 pm.
