Ask your parents...

Goto your task manager, look for those processes running in the background. on the server, same difference or goto add/remove programs.
Not fully sure what aspect you are asking if these programs are installed. But locally, check the task manager. On the server, check the programs.
If using someone elses network, no way of knowing unless you can get into their system and browse around.

Ahh, then the only solution I would offer you is a program for Inventory Management.
A low cost solution would be the Inventory control from: http://www.emco.is
This will inventory all of your systems and report every program installed.
Manually, you would have to hunt and peck for it, otherwise, this type of software is your best solution.

I should clarify that I am seeking a utility to identify and locate these - and other - filters. I am working on a network solution where the client is unable to access a number of legitimate sites. There was a recent termination of an employee - non-IT, but technologically adept - who may have installed a filter on the server, modified the folder/file name and added parameters beyond the normal constraints of the parental control programs mentioned above.
It should be noted that he occassionaly failed to clear caches which, upon review of some backup tapes, revealed some rather unique, and extensive, surfing of sites deemed unacceptable by the company.

David,
There is still information missing.
Was the employee terminated (and litigating) because of the content found associated with his account?
If so, a forensic examination is required. Contact law enforcement in your area, or email me privately, for recommendations.
Your firewall rules, or other content managment software may be preventing access to legitimate sites. Examine the rule tables.
Regards,
Crimedog
