Hey, I was wondering how you block a web site, because i need to block aim.com so my sister cant d/l AIM cuz her grades are doing bad.. or something like that i dunno all my dad said was block it lol. also is there a way to password a program so it cant be used without a password thats what im really looking for. finally, is there a way to go through the hard drive or norton systems (not log manager) to see what people typed in an email or aim or something. just curious cuz my dad said he could do that but wouldn't tell me how.

my face exploded when i read that hahaha. could any1 kind of briefly tell me how that'd be done. if aim wasnt set to log, is there any other way typed data is recorded?
