My mate has just got broadband and wants to hide his surfing activity from his family. He asked me to recommend a privacy program but I dont need to use one ;)

What would you reccomend, free would be good ;) and where can I aquire it?

Cheers,

Richard

How about setting up different login ids on the PC so he can log in as another user to surf for dodgy material.... Obviously he just has to keep the ID and password secret then.

Yep, best way is to get Windows 2000 or XP and setup different users. This way only an administrator can view other people's files and settings. Windows user security is good so long as its not Windows 95/98/ME.
