Safe search filtering

Kids have just been on the PC, typed 'Holly' into Google and hit search images. I am running Mozilla Firefox with the latest update and although I have Google Safesearch set to moderate filtering, it returned quite a few pornographic images

It even returned a few when I set it to Strict Filtering. It's the first time this has happened when searching for images and I don't want it to happen again.

I have AVG installed and run Clean-up, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Ad-Aware SE on a weekly basis.

What else can I do to ensure it doesn't happen again?

Phil

Reason for the delay in responding is that all the LCB's are typing Holly into google images!

It is a real pain but I cannot find anyway to stop everything.

I see what you mean having checked it in the name of research!

Proper stuff as well not just scantily clad Miss Christmases.

You might want to also consider a content filtering proxy

or http://www.privoxy.org/

or http://muffin.doit.org/

If you run Firefox also install the AdBloc Plus addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

I just tried it (in the name of research you understand ) with "moderate safesearch" enabled I get no porn at all, just a few girls in bikinis on the first page but definitely no T & A.

With safesearch tuned off there are quite a few dodgy pics.
