Internet provider TalkTalk is to give customers the option of filtering malicious or offensive material out of their broadband service.



The company claims it is the first major ISP to offer centralised blocking at server level.



As well as stopping malicious software, parents will be able to prevent their children accessing adult material.



Security professionals have questioned whether the service will be able to react fast enough to new threats.

Like anything else it's got false positive results. The only good thing is it's free. I agree with the article the only way to truly stop the time kids spend on the internet is through good parenting.
