Default Good parental control software?

Can anyone recommend some good software for this? Our daughter accesses the net via wireless to our router.

The router has a reasonable level of protection, but would prefer something which you can type in the sites they are allowed to, rather than blocking particular sites.

What do you use?

Agreed. I think chat rooms and porn sites are the big ones that kids should be protected from.

The BEST parental control is to have the PC in the living room, in your view!

No questions.
