While I imagine there is some anti-spam software available, or switches
that can be set in existing S/W used by an ISP (since I get zero direct
spam via my ISP, Silicon Beach), your best defense is to find out where the
delete button is on your computer. Then USE it -- before the kids get on
the machine. (And if the kids have *unsupervised* access to the machine,
then I have no doubt that they have already discovered that a simple Yahoo!
or Lycos search on a "nasty" word or topic will turn up tens of thousands
of entries that can be accessed with a click of a mouse. The Web is not
Disneyland.)
