I use Net Nanny. Seems to work OK and can email you a report daily/weekly of
any activity that it has blocked. Their technical support always responds
within 24 hours.
You can custom-configure settings such as how many times a rude work has to
appear on a page before NN will block the site. You can also submit sites to
NN support that don't appear on the friendly list.
Downside is that even though you can create user accounts in Net Nanny and
assign different settings for each user, the program doesn't interact with
the Windows accounts. This results in Net Nanny using the account "Anyone"
on startup. You have to right-click on the NN icon, choose logout and then
choose login to choose the user account.
