Firewall to stop a senile user from giving out info?

WOT might work, also, try applying scissors to his credit card.

 

This true of all the reputation scanners. However, WOT has impressed me in that they do check out a site before flagging it as a bad guy. So it is not 100% user input. Norton's Safe Search on the other hand is worthless in my opinion. Once in a blue moon might a site be flagged as really bad.

 

the op 1st thread question is nonsense why feed the trolls

 

What could I have possibly said to make you think I'm a troll?

Thanks for all the advice, everyone. I knew there had to be a way. I'm still doing research on these suggestions, but thanks for the help.

You cannot protect someone from his auto-destructive impulses. It is always better to educate him than to restrict him. Having said that it is possible to achieve what you want:
1st, no admin rights and control over the installed apps (e.g. no instant messaging or voip programs that use encrypted protocols).
2nd, you'll have to install a identity protection program that will block sensitive info from leaving the pc. Most security suites offer such feature.
3rd, you will have to block all https connections except the ones that are absolutely necessary for his activities (e.g. e-banking).
4th, K9 is also a good addition.

Outpost firewall has ID block which apparently blocks private data transfer.Ive not really used it so cant comment on how good it is but theres some info here

This is what I'm looking at based on the posts here.

ZoneAlarm Id block
K9
Adblock
Prepaid debit card
Possibly WOT

Thanks for all these ideas. Now I have to learn/test them all out to see if they will work.

 

I wish I could educate him but I can not. He can't remember anything. Unfortunately I seem to be going that way myself and I'm a lot younger. I've been a programmer for years and I simply can't do it anymore because of my memory. It must be genetic.
