Category for this? website blocking via firewall, UAC for program...
Mods please move to appropriate sub-forum...
Hi guys,
First of all, thanks for being here :) These forums helped me figure out a BSOD problem in the past. Here is my dilemma:
A friend of mine is a manager for an auto garage in town. His employees need a computer to log their hours and do training modules over the Internet. The problem is that the employees waste a lot of time on YouTube. I suggested he block the site using the "hosts file method". After doing so he says they can google something, then access YouTube via the search results. I don't know how this is possible, I propose to:
- Install Comodo firewall to block YouTube
- Make his employees use an account w/o admin priviledges so they cannot change this.
- Problem solved, right?
The only problem I see is that my friend claims that one of the programs they use requires admin rights... So if they put in the password when it's requested from their non-admin account to get those rights for that program, don't they now have the password to get into the admin account and change things?
So my questions are:
- Is there a way to elevate the privileges of only that program so the employees never need to know the password?
- Should Comodo be installed by the admin?
- Is this the best solution or do you have a better one?
I usually run Linux so I am a bit out of my element here. I expect to go in on Sunday to fix this up for him so that the changes "just happened" and no one can really complain Thanks in advance
