website filtering?/content advisor?

[Awol]

Hi,

for some of the users wher ei work i need to create an allowed websites list as there access is unrestricted at the moment, and we have had problems with them downloading unwanted things.

I dont really want to pay for a third party filtering system, i wanted to just use microsoft content advisor, but is there a way of having a central list of allowed sites? or at least i coudl write a list centrally then copy and paste it into each machine ratehr than havign to add everysite on everymachine?

hope that makes sense!

Thanks in advance

Allan
