Although the Internet holds a wealth of information, it also contains a vast amount of objectionable material as well. Whether you have a child or run a public network of computers, it is necessary to block specific websites that may have a negative influence on web users. Blocking websites with password protection is one of the most effective methods to control the content of the web. Luckily, Windows Vista has a variety of user controls that can set restrictions on specific web content.
