If your router allows, you could change the DNS and set it up to point at something like OpenDNS, register with the OpenDNS site and block whatever you like.... not 100% but better than nothing - as long as you block any other free DNS on your router / firewall because they'll get round it!

Do you think they have been looking at things that you feel they shouldn't do ?

Tbh, Big Griffin is spot on and in my experience they will just go behind your back  :(
Best to just keep a eye on there browser history ect and if you feel they have crossed a line, just have a quite word, back off a little while keeping a eye on them  :)
If the browser history gets deleted, start to worry  ;)

If you are concerned about porn etc then consider programs like net nanny, never seen them in use but I believe that's what they are used for.

There is only one solution to this, and that's some form of parental filtering.  All the big 5 implement it, and done right, it is difficult to work around.

Bluecoat make some pretty good edge protection devices, but any solution running on the device being protected is always easily bypassed.
