Trying to use Content Advisor and not sure if it will do what I want it to?

Having just become a childminder I thought I would try and make my PC more secure for the mindees use.

I thought I could just set up a new user account for them and keep my user account as it was and use Content Advisor to stop them accessing certain sites. Unfortunately once I have set it up to not allow certain things on their user account it seems to do the same on my user account too and vice versa.

Does anyone know if there is anyway I can do this?

Or any other ideas?

under 'any other ideas' you could consider using Firefox (www.getfirefox.com) or Opera (www.opera.com) for yourself (just make sure to not let them be classed as 'default browser' and stop them from checking each time they are used).

That way, when you want uncensored/ unfiltered browsing, you know to start (say) Firefox and have a shortcut on your account and in the Quick Launch section of the Taskbar.

When they browse they use MS Internet Explorer by default together with any restrictions the Content Advisor places on them.
