Sorry, Let me add in some details I have left out;
-the proxy uses blacklists for flagging, it is really not fancy or up to
date
-the browser history shows sites "visited" - would prefetch do that? must
research ....

Thanks
 Dorne

Be aware that some sites categorize websites as "adult" using very
unsophisticated mechanisms.

John Dvorak's blog site is often categorized as "adult" because he has the
word "uncensored" in the title.

Sometimes they do it when a picture has a lot of flesh tones in a jpg.

As for "traces", you can visit an "innocent" site that will re-direct
you to an adult site (phishing).

Also - some browsers will "pre-fetch" URL's without the user's
knowledge.
