I need to block all porn content from my Mac. My young friend uses the computer and I notice that when she is logging out, she clicks out of porn sites that are opened and tells me she doesn't know how they got there. The question I have is can porn sites pop out of nowhere and show their content out of the blue? Please help and excuse my ignorance in this. Thank you.

*insert joke here*

Malware can cause such pop-ups to appear, yes. But I thought Mac users were l33t and immune to that :unsure:

If you think she's lying, demand to smell her fingers next time. Just in case, wash your keyboard- with soap and water bleach.

What anon said. Let's hope she didn't get any viruses on it... :drummer:

And if she's hot give them a good licking too.

Yes, Funkin' ALWAYS offers sound advice.

The fact that these porn sites only appear whenever your friend uses your computer -- and not for anyone else -- kind of discounts the likelihood of a virus.

A lot of warez and crack sites have porn pop-ups/pop-unders, and sometimes these will keep popping up long after the original site is closed. But if that's the case, it's painfully obvious, since the popups will typically start immediately upon entering the site. Checking the browser's site history list should tell you all you need to know.

I wonder whether the internet filter for Mac (http://www.***.com/) is helpful...

We appreciate your subtleness to advertise that.

I don't imagine the poster advertiser expected this thread to go the direction it did. :lol:

:01::01::01: anon, Funkin', and MBM take a bow...

I don't do no bow. They knew the risks when they mentioned chicks surfing porn sites. :sly:

I meant we all sniffed her out, and her attempts smelled fishy...

Windows computers don't have that*. I say hire a professional private investigator (no, not a computer analyst), and have said person take real life screenshots of any activity in your computer's vicinity. Then next time the porn links open up, click on the contact button, and sell the pictures the PI took.

How about, you just signup for OpenDNS. You can set it up to block all DNS requests to porn sites. You will find all you need to know on the OpenDNS site.

I (http://www.opendns.com/home)t isn't 100% fool proof. For example you can just change DNS servers to get around it, but it stops the kids here from looking at porn. They don't even know what DNS is.

this is the most sensible answer i have heard lol...yea opendns is used on our systems and at work. its not 100% (unless you add sites manually) but it does a good job.

add K9 on to the system and you have a bloody good way to stop anything adult.

Note both of those can be bypassed if the Windows account has administrator privileges, although K9 is certainly tougher (you have to kill the service and stop the driver, which has a chance of hard rebooting the computer). And kids these days are potential hackers :P

k9 is very hard to crack, you disable any of the services the net stop working completely, untill k9 is back up and running.....i have tried to bypass it myself with no luck with admin privs, and messing around with the registry.....plus most of the system won't be using admin privs on their accounts (thats just stupid) i have to say that ametuer people/parents leave the system open with admin privs but hey they ask for it.

When my school briefly implemented K9 in their computers last year, I was able to disable it that way. Although now that you mention it, I don't remember whether I could stop the driver via the device manager, or had to disable it via registry (Start=0x4), then restart. And there was the aforementioned chance of a reboot.

True, it shouldn't be done.
