I don't necessesarily agree that the only way around this is to buy the kids their own PC and then waste time wiping it regularly... What I'm getting at... is why not just hide away Internet Explorer & MSN Messenger etc. and only give them access to some of the more secure & free alternatives out there that isn't going to 'Install on Demand' every bit of intrusive junk with a cartoon face on it. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> Just use the right tools and you'll be able to save your geekiness till another day. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> Vin (nethomehelp.co.uk) I do agree that kids when using the internet are a magnet for all sorts of spy-ware & junk software on your PC if given the chance.

Maybe this could be a whole new legal angle for the anti-spyware activist scene to check into. Deceptively luring children into potentially offensive or pornographic spyware or weblinks may mean that bubba's new fiance is a spammer or spyware author.
