Net Nanny is the world’s leading parental controls and Internet filtering software. Its award-winning technology gives families online peace of mind by allowing them to avoid unwanted Internet content and exposure. Net Nanny’s powerful, flexible filtering engine automatically blocks inappropriate sites on the fly and allows parents to monitor and manage time spent online. It also reports children’s instant messaging and social networking activities and alerts parents to potential cyber bullying and predator threats. Net Nanny is the only solution that blocks PC games based on the ESRB rating system and filters secure encrypted content, which helps to minimize workarounds.

Along with Internet filtering and online time restrictions, Net Nanny has a number of other beneficial features that allow parents to protect their children. These include:


• PC Games Blocking – Net Nanny 6.0 is the first parental control software solution to restrict PC games using the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rating system, and the first to block desktop PC games based on categories including violence, sex, alcohol, drugs, and more.

• IM Alert & Analysis – Net Nanny’s improved Message Monitor feature examines the content of instant messages (IM) and alerts parents via e-mail to potentially dangerous and risky online behaviors including: child grooming, sexual predators, cyber bullying, passing out private information, use of web cams, and more.

• Social Network Profile Reporting – Parents can easily access and view their children’s social networking activities on commonly used sites like Facebook. Reporting provides details about social networking profiles, including friends’ lists, pictures, and personal descriptions.

• Secure Website Filtering/Blocking – Net Nanny 6.0 now filters the content of secure Web sites and aggressively prevents attempts to get around filtering by blocking secure proxy and encrypted Web sites. Using secure proxy Web sites is the number one method used by tech-savvy teens to circumvent desktop filters.

Utah’s #1 ranking in online porn

The study is very interesting, and there has been a lot of discussion about it. What’s important is that it gets the dialog going about inappropriate content on the web and in our homes. That’s where Net Nanny comes in and can help. Some people say that Utah is #1 because there is no other outlet for people to get this kind of material so people have to go on the internet to find it. This is not just a Utah problem; it’s a nation-wide problem.

What sets NN apart from the competition?

Apart from the fact that we are the most complete solution and the best filter available in virtually every facet of internet filtering, what really sets us apart are 4 things:


1. In addition to filtering and blocking all normal traffic, we filter and block secure traffic and proxy traffic, which is the number one thing our competitors DON’T do—and is the number one way savvy kids get around internet filters.

2. We monitor and alert on Instant Messaging, to protect against inappropriate contact, and also to help prevent or stop cyber bullying

3. We do game control, based on the most widely used and respected game rating system, the ESRB.

4. We monitor and report on Facebook

Of course, those are just the highlights. We also do computer time controls, application control, and age based controls customizable for every member of the family. Parents can also set the system to allow for easy override, so that in case you really need to get to a blocked site, it’s just a matter of entering a password and you’re there.
