An ultimate virus? Not quite...

How about installing linux

In Norton internet security:

1. Status & Settings
2. Parental Control
3. Turn On
4. Configure
5. Sites
6. Add
7. Type in the address and hit ok

Now if you don't wish to block categories (nudity, violence, drugs, etc.) then uncheck the boxes in the block categories section.

That should do it. However after a boot, there is an uncloseable box that shows the loading status of the Parental Control. Nothing harmful, just bothersome for several minutes.

why not just set a password and let your parents know what it is?

You can block specific sites within Internet explorer by checking out the security settings, although if memory serves it can be difficult due to Microsoft's infatuation in unintuitive and generally poor design). Additionally, I would recommend downloading Powertoys for XP (search MS page) or using FreshUI by FreshDevices. FreshUI is a little bit more user-friendly (IMO) and has more in-depth explanations as to what options do. I haven't messed with Powertoys as much but FreshUI will let you tweak a specific User profile and you can specify whether or not they can do basic tasks (access the Run menu, access certain drives or programs or even install anything that modifies the registry). I've used both to make basic user logins that allow the person to do the basic novice stuff but nothing too destructive.

You can't block specific sites in IE, only sites' cookies and pages that may contain inappropriate material. I thought that maybe you might be able to do that too, but I searched for 45 minutes and couldn't find anything except blocking or permitting cookies.

EVIL- You can block pages in ie. See the pictures below. It just really sucks to use. Click on settings and add sites to allow or disallow under the approved sites tab. You can set a password there too. As I said I have never used this function though because I didn't like the way it worked.

Sounds like someone needs parantal controls... also, would be a good idea to admin pass your bios, and do a search for some reghacks... we had an internet cafe in Iraq, and we reghacked the hell out of it so that normal users couldn't do shit... and since they were limited (they couldn't even open Explorer to see the file system) we had the undo reghack on the admin side... so log in as admin, undo the hacks, do what needs to be done, merge the hacks back in, reboot the machine...

But you know... thats up to you
