    Web Filtering Software for Server 2003

    Just wondering if anbody has any nice ideas

    I've got an old license of SmartFilter by SecureComputing (now McAfee) which is about to expire, and after the worst telephone call centre experience of my life with McAfee earlier today, I think we might be wise to look elsewhere.

    Is there anything around that's suitable for corporate/educational customers that might do the trick? There seem to be a fair old few solutions around but it's hard to know which of them cut the mustard.

    Websense and webmarshal are OK

    ISA on its own is no good for web site filtering. The others I quoted allow you to subscribe to their categories lists so you can just ban certain types of websites with a few clicks.

    I know that but, put it this way I would rather use an inhouse server than an external proxy.
