OpenDNS
Many of my clients use a computer at home to access work servers or even their desktop. Some have a laptop they kart around, and when this is home, their children often use these computers for school assignments, social networking, general entertainment and, I suspect, for things their parents are either totally unaware of, or simply don't realise can be done on the web.
So I regularly receive requests for some kind of filtering or other protection to secure little children from net nasties, or from prying into company secrets. There are many good products available for this, but I have just discovered Open DNS. Now, I swear I have no pecuniary interest in this company; I don't sell their products (They're free any way), but boy have they made life a lot easier for me.
A free account, simple to configure, no rocket science involved - in a couple of minutes I had my home network configured to keep LOTS of bad things out. No more emails pretending to be from someone else (including my self). No more cursing from my daughter when she receives 300 emails from a chat site.
Do yourself a favour and check out Open DNS.
