Holy moley. Can't you restrict using XP or Vista?

Some rules - always have them use the PC where you can walk by.

Not that I think porn is all that bad, but other people - now that is dangerous for kids online.

Off-topic - I suggest taking him to a doctor and chemically neutralize his hormones. Treat the cause, not the symptom!

Are you using a wireless router? Many have firewalls that allow keyword blocking and mac address filtering. You can also restrict time of day usage.

OR

Get the fucking PC out of his bedroom!

Check out OpenDNS.com.

I started using this last month and it works great. Works like proxy servers like you have at work, but it's free and internet based.
