My 8 year old uses the computer mormally when I am here. She went on however when I was busy. Our sirname is Swallow and my daughter typed her name into the search bar. Try it yourself and you will see that this brings up all sorts of sites that an 8 year old shouldn't see. Can I password protect Firefox to stop her accessing the internet unless I am present. I don't want to stop her using the computer totally in my absence has she also plays games and does school work.
