>> Some possible solutions:

Personally I don't think reducing the protection level of your AV is a
good idea, its doing exactly what it is supposed to do despite many
attempts to stop it, proves how good NOD 32 is + what are these AVs
that allow this spyware to run in stealth mod anyway? I don't want
them.

I can see your point though, you want to monitor juniors net usage, I
just don't think the sort of net monitoring software you are using is
any good in a home environment. Normally this stuff is run by a sys
admin on a company domain network where everyone is on limited
accounts and the AV / Firewall stuff is done by dedicated commercial
solutions that are way more configureable than basic home stuff even
if it does boast of Pro credentials.

On a home PC network where you really need security software the only
way any spyware is gonna work is by compromising security in the first
place..........................innit?

I would suggest trying it from a different angle - instead of spyware
put junior on a limited account then use content management to block
places you do not wish junior to get into. There is a lot of software
/ literature etc out there to do just that even, windows has content
blocking built in if you can be arsed to mess about with it for weeks.
For example Norton Personal Firewall 2003 which you can use with NOD
32 and a Router is easy to set up and has pretty good parental control
features that should be ideal.

(Note I said Norton Personal Firewall 2003).

This way you get to put the stoppers on iffy surfing + your security
is enhanced not compromised.
