Step 2
Use PicBlock.
Pickblock blocks porn images by detecting the amount of flesh tones in images. Since the software is not based on offensive keywords list or known URLs, PicBlock may not be a substitute for your content filtering software.

on 9/16/2009 Great article. Needs one more step.
Step 6: supervise your computer with a tool like SurfRecon pornography detection and deletion software. Everyone assumes that if you deploy a filter, your problem is solved. When it isn't.
A good pornography detection software tool can help you quickly determine if a computer, CD, DVD, thumb drive, external hard drive or other digital device/media has any pornography on it.
Check out www.surfrecon.com and http://www.surfrecon.com/get-help/detect-porn.php for more information.

Five stars.
