Net Nanny Parental Controls

NOTE: ContentWatch, the creators of ContentProtect, recently acquired Net Nanny. ContentProtect’s superior Internet filtering technology is now available in the top-rated filtering software, Net Nanny 5.6.



The most effective and flexible Internet filter available today
So simple that any parent can use it—Net Nanny is the most flexible, effective Internet filter available.

Much more important than how it works, is that you know that Net Nanny does work. You have the peace of mind of knowing that you are protecting your children and family. Net Nanny can block not only pornography, but hate sites, questionable chat rooms and other dangers of the Internet. You can even configure Net Nanny to block online game and gambling sites, and even make it so your children can only install and play computer games with parental ratings that you deem appropriate.


Product Features:

• Net Nanny has a new look and feel making it easier to use, maintain and administer.
  
  
• The new Net Nanny version 5.6 is approximately 400% faster at dynamic contextual filtering than previous versions. The speed improvement now enhances our case against list-based filters and their inability to stay current with the ever-changing content of the Web.
  
  
• The new Net Nanny 5.6 leverages "Safe Search" type options found in popular search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Dogpile, AltaVista, Lycos, AllTheWeb, and MSN. This new feature will enable better protection against pornographic images when doing an image only search.
  
  
• Net Nanny has enhanced its administration tools. Powerful Remote Management tools exist to help parents to manage and maintain Internet policies remotely if an Internet connection exists.
  
  
• Already recognized as best in class, Net Nanny reports have been enhanced through the use of Flash technology. Reports are dynamic in nature and provide parents with a first class presentation of Internet activity of children.
  
  
• Net Nanny 5.6 permits parents to create customized lists of unacceptable or acceptable Web sites. For example, parents could set up a list (white list) of friendly sites that don't necessarily get filtered.
  
  
• Parents can be notified via email when certain users are trying to violate or override the defined Internet Usage Policy.
  
  
• Net Nanny provides better tools for managing access to popular Instant Messaging applications.
  
  
• Net Nanny permits administrators to completely block access to certain Peer-to-peer (P2P) sites. Note: P2P applications will not be filtered, but can be completely blocked.
  
  
• Net Nanny products are installed on a computer workstation or notebook. This ensures that whenever/wherever the user connects to the Internet, the computer is being filtered.
  
  
• Net Nanny is highly customizable permitting each family member to have their own filtering settings, rather than forcing them into a "one size fits all" scenario like some products do.
  
  
• With state-of-the-art technology, ContentWatch updates users with the latest lists, definitions, and technology, as they become available. This process can happen automatically or manually depending on the user preference enabling the customer to have the most current version of the software available.
