Have total control of what your children do online and monitor their activity with detailed reports. Teach your children how you want them to use the Internet while keeping piece of mind!
Net Nanny allows you to have total control over what your children do online as well as how long they are allowed to be online. You can configure settings per Windows user or Net Nanny accounts, or both, and you can duplicate settings with just one click for new users - it's that flexible!
Net Nanny analyses page content in real time to determine if it should be blocked or not, allowing partial viewing on internet sites as a whole. It also uses this information to check against its own database for potentially dangerous text and images as well as keeping its database up to date.
Net Nanny's filter settings allows you to block a wide range of categories; pornography, gambling, drugs and alcohol to name a few of their 31 categories, and you can also block sites that are deliberately designed to fool Net Nanny. Each category gives you the option of whether to block or allow access to the user for this category, or you can choose to warn the user and offer a choice on whether or not they wish to continue. You can fine tune each blocking process itself so the user can ask you for a override request. Combine this with the fact that children know that you can see what they were viewing with reports, this approach treats children with trust rather than control.
Besides using Net Nanny to block what children attempt to see, Net Nanny can be used to block Internet browsing, Instant Messaging, Chat Rooms and Peer-2-Peer content at protocol level so there is no way of getting past it. Net Nanny works with all search engines to block out dangerous material from search results. This way your children never get to see any dangerous material - great for the very young ones!
You can also schedule when and how much your children use the Internet. Net Nanny allows you to define weekly schedules of certain amounts, or set a daily or weekly cap of total Internet time. Net Nanny uses Internet time and not your computer's clock time so this can not be manipulated. Additional to this Net Nanny allows you to restrict certain categories of Internet games.
You can configure Net Nanny so that it sends you email notifications for all types of events or infringements (or attempts of infringements). To accompany this you can log onto your account management at netnanny.com and have complete access to all your configuration settings. Great if you are at work while the kids are at home!
You can also use Net Nanny to catch people out. Net Nanny can be used in complete stealth mode where the user is completely oblivious that they are being monitored. This way you can record everything they do and later view their detailed reports to see what they typed and exactly what internet sites they visited.
Most parental control software have reports displaying Internet sites visited and what was typed into Instant Messagers, but Net Nanny out does its competitors with the amount of information is shows in easy to navigate and understand graphs. From the report console you can generate daily, fortnightly and monthly interactive graphs that allows you to click on them to display more detailed information per category. This way you can see not only what sites were visited, but for how long, and what they typed into the site or messager.
Net Nanny is a product you can trust, developed by ContentWatch Inc, accomplished leaders in Internet security software, so keep your peice of mind and teach your children how you want them to use the Internet! We recommend trying the free trial version - you have nothing to lose!.
