I have a use policy in place now. My current one is five years old so it is being updated now. I will give it a month once the new one is in place. I will probably go the cyberpatrol route.

You could also edit the hosts file if you know the sites you want to block, and redirect to the "localhost" address of 127.0.0.1. Here's some info on how to do it.

If people aren't repsecting your policy I see no reason not to go that route. Kudos to you for being cool about it in the first place, I think a lot of people would just start blocking. It is a shame that your employees are taking advantage.

Explain in detail the acceptable use policy for computers. Explain what they are currently doing wrong. Explain the consequences of not following the policy. I think it is better to treat them like adults than to use a nanny program.
