this is asked a lot so entering
block porn
and the Search Answers
and you get 100s of opinions
also get a username/password on your computer and do not give it to him
he will blindly surf any porn site and will pick up trojans and viruses and your system will be trashed

What type of computer do you have? What's the Operating System? You may want to consider giving him his own account on your computer and make sure it's just a standard account, not admin. The biggest security risks come from people using admin accounts as their daily accounts.
Then just make sure you lock your account when you're done and keep the password from him. Once he has his own account, you can then clear the cache out of your browser and delete any cookies. Generally that's found under Tools and Internet Options.
If you are running Windows 7 or Mac OS, you can set parental controls that can block nearly all Adult websites. Remember, new websites are cropping up every day and it takes some time for the services to catch up with them, but having that block through Windows 7 or Mac OS does help quite a bit.

HI
You will have to filter the word contents such as "porn, ***, and so on lol. A lot of ppl will say to use a program or a parental control program to do so. In my opinion that will fail, cause if there is a will, there is way when it comes to porn, for men, and esp teen boys.
SO
What you should want to do is use something that will be hard to identify. Something that will be hard to crack since your brother will not know the source of the filtering.
I recommend you use http://www.opendns.com/ or something similar.
Open DNS, The leading provider of Internet navigation and security
Industry-leading Web content filtering
Just take a look at this page for more info on how it works. http://www.opendns.com/solutions/overview/
I don't really wanna copy and paste all that here lol. Oh and best of all it's free!
Good Luck

You can block sites by adding the sites to Restricted Sites in Internet Options, or use FF add-ons to block sites, but they are not a complete way and easy to get around by changing the setting or reinstalling the browser.
The safest way is to use a web filter. http://www.aobo-porn-filter.com/ But they are NOT FREE. You can add the websites you don't want to visit to blacklist. And it works in stealth mode, and won't show in the task manager. It has password protection so that no one can change your settings without password
Oh, another free choice is OPENDNS
Good Luck!
