  I absolutely think that it is necessary to have parental controls on the internet. And if you have controls on your home pc, you need to set up control on their phones, like the Windows Mobile Phone with internet access. Airscanner (www.airscanner.com) has a unique software with a firewall available for the windows phone to restrict your children to or from certain websites!

  I have spent hours trying to get Norton Internet Security 2006 and Cybersitter to work together when it comes to Instant Messaging filtering. They don't. You will get a error message from NIS stating that it "could not start the Instant Message engine.." or something like that. To make things worse, when you get this message, the user's Internet access is shut down (no Web browsing or Mail) until you reboot. Cybersitter tries to blame Norton's firewall but I switched to the firewall recommended by Cybersitter and still got the same problem. I'm dumping Cybersitter in search for a more robust filter.
