1) Why don't you use the content advisor in Win98?
browser: tools-->internet options-->content-->content advisor-->choose the level according to your choice.

2) The best way: ask the user to stop this. Check the cookies in the temp. files. I have used this to catch the ones and stop them to see the sites again. (Only if they have the knowledge or software, they cannot delete the cookies.)
It is in the following directory:
c:\windows\Temporary Internet Files
The cookies can show you whereand when the user has been. The ones with "sex" or other sexual words can be easily seen in the cookies.
The best way is to train users not to access them. Software is not reliable because the sites are trying not to give themselves a ranking; and some software cannot identify them.

you might also want to check out peacefire.org

most rating systems that are installed on local machines that don't have file security (ie win95, win98, winME) can be very easily turned off by the user. peacefire will tell you how to turn off various ones, so I guess you can avoid buying those programs since your user would be able to go around them.

I used IE 5's Content Advisory on my kid and I don't think he broke it, although he had previously managed to promote his user account to administrator on default win2K install.
