You could install ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite on each desktop. Information can be found at

 Not only does it perform its firewall function but it provides other security features such as parental control over 
what web content you want to allow. I've tried it before and its pretty easy to use as you only need to specify what 
category of websites that you want to allow/disallow. Setting up a proxy is a good idea but unless you get a commercial 
URL filtering solution with database updates... manually entering URLs that you want to disallow can be painful.
