The recommendation came after a child posted a comment on the message board of the NSPCC's website There4me.com saying: "I've seen violent images I didn't search for. I was freaked out."

"We are alarmed by how easy it is for children to access disturbing internet material," the Sun quoted Policy adviser Zoe Hilton, as saying.
"High-security parental controls in computers would help shield them.
"We also want retailers to ensure computers have protection software before they are sold to parents," Hilton added.
