Stop mates looking at pr0n on my PC

[Mr. Smith]

So I have 2 accounts on my PC, I'm obviously admin and the other is guest. I have Kaspersky for security.

I live in a shared house and let the other lads use my PC as they aren't online atm.

I'm pretty sure I know who the culprit is but anyway I checked my history on FF cos they are polite enough to ask before using it. Well there was a lot of red tube.

The thought of one of my mates whacking off at my pc using my mouse and kb makes me feel a little ill.

How do I ban filth from the guest acc but leave it available for me (hey, do as I say, not as I do lol).

I've looked into blocking sites before, and in all honesty I couldn't find an easy way that didn't involve some horribly sh*t software or setting up a proxy server for my network.

If your mate is dumb tho, there's a real easy way to block the images (thus destroying his fun). Tools>Options>Content>Exceptions(2)

I could set up a simple vmware image running linux and a proxy. Then just set it to start up with your pc and set the guest account to go through the proxy.

Let me know if you want me to do it.

EDIT: forgot to mention you can run it as a system service.

Another good idea..so long as they don't work out how to turn the proxy off (or maybe you could set it in the security policy?)

you could do a local gpo. i dont think the guest account would have the permissions to alter it.

I'm currently running it fine on ubuntu, but what something more cut down as most of the features wont be used. any ideas?

Give Hostsman a try - it'll a stop lot of pr0n and you can add urls manually.

trouble with url type filters is that new sites are popping up all the time. It's like cat and mouse. Using one that makes use if the PICS system (skin tone on images) and weighted phrase's are far more accurate.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Yep - a lot of the time it's just trying to close the stable door after the horse has shot its bolt, LOL.

Maybe best answer is to leave a box of Kleenex by the mouse and keyboard! ;o)

OR you could put them off by leaving a used cleenex there... (or at least so it looks like its used) maybe then they wouldn't ?

 

[Mullet]

I have just boughed.....

LOL...just be straight with the filthy beggar, it would make the culprit feel like a total tool...the net result would hopefully be tool free browsing from then on... (if you know what I mean! )

How about putting a picture of Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day as the guests background wallpaper?

and nails on the chair

with a Big religious Picture on the wall behind ur screen (elevated slightly)

*EDIT* Oh and a 12 Inch ''accessory" on the desk

Buy a cheap keyboard and mouse and swap them out when you use it. You could even get a KVM switch to make life easier - though you'd want to be able to lock your ones away or they might just use them anyway.

 

[JN]

How about a keyboard dust cover. I hear they are splash proof

 

[Mr. Smith]

I think I'll just have to get the network sorted in the house, then they can use their own PC's and ham shank to their hearts content...

Why on a cold day? Wouldn't it be more disturbing by putting her in a cosy, warm setting on a big bed and pulling off some sort of pose. THEN if the guy does get turned on by it, he would feel very weird and see her every time he closes his eyes

I dono mate, Maggie sporting a pair of Chieftain starter buttons (old man was in the army, it's a tank, the starter button resembles something...) covered in goose bumps. Good God I feel sick.
