Internet filter software
Here are a couple of websites to help families protect their computers from unwanted material.
http://x3watch.com - download free accountability software (there is a paid version as well). The free version emails an internet usage accountability report to up to 2 addresses roughly every 2 weeks or roughly every 4 weeks (depending on the setting you choose). Note that roughly every 2 weeks actually can be up to 3 weeks - it is somewhat random. I believe the paid version has more regular timing.
http://www.opendns.com/familyshield - Familyshield is a free hosted web filter. Once you follow their instructions of how to set up your home router or PC to use familyshield, they automatically block access to pornography sites as you surf the internet. Note that this method does not slow down your internet access and there is no software to install on your computer.
http://www.saferinternetgroup.org/links_howtosafety.html - The safer internet group provides free instructions on how to setup YouTube, Yahoo, Google, iTunes, Windows 7, Apple, and Facebook with the safest settings to protect you and your family.

Note that no single approach is fool proof (even with purchased solutions), so a combination of approaches is generally recommended to provide the best protection.
