could you tell him that "something pritzus popped up" (I stress, DO NOT LOOK FOR SOMETHING!! Just say it happened) and that the filter should be made tighter?
the other option is accept the psak (I know that Rav Mordechai Willig says this explicitly) that being alone with a computer is yichud. I am trying to work up to that, and right now will only allow myself on the internet if I am in a public place (no one home and/or door closed) if I have a concrete task (check email, look up something for school/work) and not allow to click on ANY extraneous links etc. it relies on a certain level of self trust, but definitely effective.
