Hello MK,
The parental control features you are seeking are available via MSN® 8.
Here are some details:
- Age-based content settings are easy to set up and can be customized to
block specific categories (such as "gambling" or "criminal skills"), as
defined by an independent ratings bureau
- A weekly activity report lists visited sites, total time spent online,
and who children sent MSN e-mail or MSN Messenger instant messages to
- You stay in charge because the controls will remain even if the child
uses a different browser on your home PC or uses MSN 8 from another
computer
MSN® 8 also includes Microsoft's most advanced spam filter and features:
- Easy-to-use settings that start filtering spam right away
- Advanced protection against spam from a smart filter, based on Microsoft®
technology, that learns to eliminate even more spam as you use it
- A Block Sender List that keeps messages from specified senders from
reaching your Inbox
