So any incoming mail has been screened, but surfing with IE is still a
security risk - you can get all sorts of interesting downloads that way.
I would check the box for virus, malware and tell the esmith box that the
server is not allowed access through port 80. This means editing the squid
configuration files (That's how I kept one teenager off the net between
midnight and 0500).

It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more

a new system. For the initiator has the emnity of all who would profit
by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders
in those who would gain by the new ones.
