[K12OSN] standalone spyware / content filter -- need suggestions

[Huck]

DansGuardian also has great power in weighted phrase lists...

so "dirty rotten sex" would be filtered but "sex education classes"
would likely pass if you have words weighted appropriately...mind-you
a fairly time-consuming task for the admin and takes a bit of tweaking
to get it just right...

We were having issues with kids playing internet games all the time and
hording the computers for such activities...so I blocked the word 'game'
and was the most hated person on the planet for a period of 3 months =)

Also blocking staff isn't a bad idea for those staff who allow students 
open access to their computers, that end up taking 20% of your support 
time because "something happened" and everytime they open up their 
browser it goes to a porn site...and "they didn't do anything"
