| For the front desk computer, I want to block all access to IE, except for
| one site -- our camera network requires IE to display on the computer.
| On the guest internet computer, I want to block all use of IE except for
| McAfee security center if possible.

| The budget is zero so I cannot buy internet cafe software.

| Thanks for any advice.
