Which one is recommended?

I found my 6 yo on some bulletin board called girlsinthebag.  No graphics that I saw, but if he had gone further there might have been.  He had typed his name and his friend's name and was about to post it.  Apparently you don't have to register.  He can't read well yet, but could have read the other posts if he tried.

The problem is that he just clicks on whatever pops up or is on the screen.  He's probably been to other, worse sites that we don't even know about.  He doesn't know what he is doing, but I don't want him stumbling onto something unsuitable.

Anyway, I need some suggestions on software to lockout bad sites.

Thanks

If you use compuserve or AOL they have it to where you can set parental controls to whatever you desire. If not try google search for net nanny, cybersitter, cyberpatrol etc.
