Protect Yourself! You password protect your BIOS with an administrator password. Set your BIOS to boot from the Hard Drive and ONLY the hard drive. Allow NO OTHER boot devices, unless you change your BIOS settings after inputting the correct password.

Review Use a program like K9 to as a first line of defense. Educate yourself about HACKS like the Ping/Traceroute, Cache and Proxy Server hacks. Ask yourself why would someone use a LIVE CD, unless they are very interested in Linux Operating Systems. Set a BIOS password and LOCK your computer case to avoid tampering.
More TIPS 1) Keep computers out of the bedroom. Have children work in a common, open area. 2) Secure the wireless router and TURN IT OFF by UNPLUGGING it when you do not want wireless internet access. 3) Monitor your child's online activity and talk to them about it. Let them know how dangerous online predators can be. 4) In most cases, the child will be much more technologically sophisticated than the parent. Children will almost always find ways around any method you use to block access. Talk to your kids, trust them, BUT verify.
