I don't like ''censorware''...

How did I get it? A used computer, with a former owner that won't give me the password to uninstall it.
I can somewhat figure out my way around it (that's how I got the cat pic to display as intended). What ticks me off is I shouldn't have to!
Here's an example of what pisses me off:

fficial&prmd=ivnsu&source=lnms&tbs=isch:1&ei=6-llTbT6GsiCtgfA27mXDQ&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CBMQ_AUoAQ&biw=928&bih=620">http://www.google.com/images?q=moammar+gadhafi&hl=en&safe=active&cl... is blocked because it is currently categorized as:

Open Image / Media Search

Sites with image or video searches which return graphical results (i.e. thumbnail pictures) that include potentially pornographic content along with non-pornographic content (as defined in our pornography category). Sites that explicitly exclude offensive content are not included in this category.

Search Engines / Portals

Say what you want about Muumuumar Queerdaffy (Hey,everyone else has come up with 'an English spelling' of it's name, why don't I?)
That +_)(*&^$#@! BLOCKS GOOGLE!!! That makes it malware as far as I'm concerned.
I know, ''what, what, you can't Nuke It From Orbit?''. I can, it would mean kissing Windows goodbye and going Linux.
I'm still getting used to this new blogging system, I don't want to learn a new Operating System yet. But if/when it becomes necessary (I admit it, I lost the password to the old blog, so I made a new one) I can learn how to make Linux work. I just don't want to start over again so soon...
