Re: IT Guys - How to block chat programs.
I use a program called K9 Web Security for the computers I manage at my church. Very easy interface, with many options for restrictions. And it's completely free.
Whatever you use, make sure you find a way to block proxies as well. The kids I know are all signed up to email lists, or facebook groups that will give them the latest and greatest proxy before their school blocks it. That seems to be a moving target since new proxies are constantly becoming available. K9 continually updates their list to try and stay on top of that. Hopefully if your kid finds one that works, it won't be good for long.
