How do you block porn from appearing on your Mac?
I need to block all porn content from my Mac. My young friend uses the computer and I notice that when she is logging out, she clicks out of porn sites that are opened and tells me she doesn't know how they got there. The question I have is can porn sites pop out of nowhere and show their content out of the blue? Please help and excuse my ignorance in this. Thank you.

Thank you very much. I wonder whether the internet filter for Mac is helpful or not...

Should not in most cases. Though even if they Opera's default pop-up blocking settings will be able to block it. The Internet Filter for Mac could be useful but use it as a last resort - you have many free options too.
Windows 7 SP1 x86 edition and Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Do you have a trojan that's bring up the porn? Also, I was just thinking Mac OS should have some sort of hosts file, although you need to know the domain of the sites in question.

I would recommend using OpenDNS. The have a setting beyond the 222.220.22something that is set specifically to block all unfamily friendly sites.
It gets 'installed' onto the router and/or the laptop itself.
You don't have to figure out which sites are bad. It pretty well blocks them all.

Or you could install DD-WRT on your router and block websites by keyword. You can set it so that it blocks various sites randomly, even when you are not home so that she can't corellate going cold turkey with you doing anything.
But the truth is, if she wants to find it, she'll find it regardless of what you do.
