I made this download blocker that works with Internet Explorer, Fire Fox & Opera for parents that have kids/teens that download lots of junk and trash their PC. I would suggest having this for the ones that can't tell a difference between Pirates and Pirating (Software).
The draw back is that it can be turned off through Process tab in the Task Manager, so that why and I don't have a installer for it, so you kinda have to do some of the tasks of setting it up. But instructions included.
How It Works:
While the download blocker is running every millisecond of your PC its checking for Window titles of keywords, the reason why I have it so it only works for Fire Fox, IE and Opera is becuase they open dialog boxes with a certain title in them that my application checks for when a user is trying to download something off the net and is more effective then trusting into a proxy detector and it doesn't show in the task bar so users can't easily turn it off. When the download detector finds any of these windows get opened or focused on they immediately close and a Message Box appears showing they can't download and a recording to a log file fallows.
-So you may know if someone was tampering with the application. (Turning it on or off and alerts/warnings)Testing It In FireFox 3.01 trying to download Winrar.
I am thinking on maybe selling it online for maybe 5-10 bucks and also provide phone support, but I am not too sure. I want to do it so you have to email me and use payPal for the payment so I can send it too you as a attachment so I know where its going.
The kids would be the first to figure out how to inactivate it.

Maybe try the Apple Apps Store?
Never mind I found a easier and more faster way.
