Popup menus

[Concerned Parent]

My teenage son has somehow placed a porn site shortcut on
my internet explorer popup menu (when I right click with
my mouse). How do I remove this and how do I prevent
this from happening in the future?

The context-menu entries can be removed using ToolbarCop.

You can't necessarily blame him. You can browse to seemingly innocent
sitews and have this happen.

If you haven't instilled the proper values, your not
likely to get a solution from a newsgroup.
Take your teenage son aside, explain the issues of valuing
the female sex (use lots of references to his mother &
grandmothers).
Preventing it from ahppening it again is very very
difficult. Tie up his time with Church and Athletics.

As I pointed out you can't assume he's guilty. My wife got some by going to
a knitting site.
