My in-laws have recently had some trouble with their son browsing some inappropriate websites (microsoft.com for example).

The boy is smart enough to clear the history (though he forgot one day and that's how he got busted) so I'm trying to find something that will keep the history from being deleted or would save it to a file even if it's cleared from within the app.

Any thoughts on that?

Are there any such options through their router (if they have one)?

If the kid's really saavy, he could always turn on Private Browsing, then no history would even be kept. I'm afraid the fix is going to be with the kid, not with the computer.

Well yeah, but interesting thing about kids, they don't always do what they're told.

There's a router, but I don't know what options there would be.
