have you considered just not bothering w/the CrossingGuard software?
there IS a lot of hype out there about "safeguarding" the kids,etc - and most of it IS hype-
1. porno etc is accessable, but is NO WHERE NEAR the problem it is madeout to be by right wing politicians, etc -
2. NONE of those screening programs are kidproof anyway
3. it's interactivity you have to be careful about as an actual potential threat, not what pops up on a site screen
