OpenDNS.

My parents machines, even the ones they buy without telling me, still connect to the internet through their router. OpenDNS blocks requests for blacklisted sites. It doesn't help their cellphones, but they are also under instructions not to do any banking on their phones.

Adblock+Noscript

It helps. They sometimes have to call me when websites don't work but it blocks the annoying popups that can sometimes confuse older people into scams.

Noscript is an interesting choice for "non-technical" parents, my understanding was that Noscript was for -advanced- users.
