We have several computers in our house, would I need to buy multiple copies for multiple PCs? I have been using Open DNS because it is free, it works well, there is no software to install and it can be used on my router so it blocks all machines in my house. I made a helpful video on how to configure and use it. The video can be found here. http://www.helpviavideo.com/watch.php?vidid=38 I think this software looks great but how much does it cost?

The clips demonstrate mistakes kids can make online. The 10 question quiz covers internet safety for children: the topics of cyber-bullying, privacy, safety, dangers of spyware and malware, etc. The quiz doesn't really focus on stranger-danger type concerns but rather gently and humorously reminds the reader that it's possible to hurt people's feelings, to mislead people who don't realize you're joking, to remember that online postings can be seen by anybody and that postings are often impossible to remove once posted.
