Okay, it's not parental controls then. I rebooted my computer and cleared my cache and it doesn't do it anymore. Thanks for the help though. :D

Nah, I doubt it's possible for a program to decide to close a window AFTER it's already been opened.
Since a typical page of text is literally nothing to any computer from the last 20 years, if a parental control program were going to do anything about a web page, it could do it before you even see it.

No, if it is blocked a note will come up letting you know you get go there and it will block you from going there.

I was wondering because we set up a new Internet and my windows kept closing for some reasons so I was wondering if it was like parental controls or something.

no.
well at least not the one my mom uses (she doesnt block me, she blocks my sibs)
it just doesnt let you look at the page, and a popup comes up that says something like "you need parental permission to view this page"

Parental Controls?

Dec 12, 2008 6:29 PM

Would parental controls randomly close a window if it's "Inappropriate" to the settings or whatever? Just curious...
