Hi Essexboy,
Well the only problem is an ongoing one. From the time I asked for help until today my son had the pc again. He installed 3 bogus programs that I had to uninstall. Here is the dilemma-if I just give him a standard user account in Win 7 then he's asking me for a password every 5 mins. If I just leave him as the administrator he downloads things like Smart PC Cleaner and messes up the computer. What advice can you give that would be a happy medium? I could enable some parental settings on my Dlink dir-655 router, but I'm afraid he will still get locked out of many sites that would be ok. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance and thanks for all of the help to date!
