Surfcontrol. Yeah.. the license is more expensive but, you'll save a lot of cost in labor, in my experience. They have a hosted model and an enterprise product they can deploy to your network. It's easy to deploy and there is very good reporting (particularly in the enterprise product). I think one of the benefits that is most oft overlooked with web filtering is the protection of the desktop users from spyware/adware. Products like SurfControl/Websense (merging real soon) do a good job of categorizing those sites and you'll see a dramatic decrease in the amount of time spent cleaning up that kind of stuff. I work for a small MSP and most of our customers see web filtering save them money over time.

Due to the nature of the customer who requires the monitoring carried out, this program must be able to run on a windows box and needs to be very reasonably priced (I have no control over budget unfortunately). I am aware of programs such as ISA server (too expensive) and squid (*nix based). Any other sugesstions would be great.Customers network is round a bout 20 workstations that need to be monitored, so pretty small in reality. Looking forward to all your help.
