Unwanted parental control?

[Pcalway]

I hve had a minor annoyance with my system since it arrived. I came with some type of parental control installed which blocks some words but not others I would expect in the same vein.

For example it blocks "nude", "erotic" and "porn" but not "pornography" or "sex".

This makes it awkward some timed for example in following up on news stories that use these words.

The unusual feature of this is that it works on Firefox and Internet Explorer but not Compernic Agent Basic.

We have no kids in the household and no need for parental controls. The Vista and firewall controls are disabled.

I am using a Dell Inspiron 530 with Vista Ultimate 32 that is up to date as far as I know.

What can I do to correct this?

If you've got admin rights on that machine, you should be able to find the parental control app and simply uninstall it. Try checking in Control Panel, "Programs and Features" - can you see anything listed in there that sounds like a morality enforcement mechanism?

If not, it might be implemented as (separate) add-ons for IE and FF. Try going through the list of add-ons in each case and temporarily deactivating anything you're not sure about.
