Why a Net Nanny Blog?
Net Nanny is committed to helping families secure their computers and enjoying the freedom and knowledge the Internet brings, while keeping out the stuff you don’t want your family to see.
While Net Nanny isn’t designed to replace good parenting, it is designed to give parents the peace of mind that, while they aren’t there, Net Nanny will block out the objectionable content. We feel it’s important for parents to remain educated and to understand more about the latest technologies, social networks, and have a deeper understanding of games, technologies and websites your kids probably know about already.
This blog features special guest bloggers from various parts of the security and safety industry. The views expressed represent the personal views of individual bloggers and do not represent the opinions of Net Nanny or ContentWatch.

Today Net Nanny released Net Nanny 6.0.1! Because this is such a minor release you are probably wondering why I would make such a fuss about it. Well, it’s because we’ve introduced a long awaited and heavily requested feature into this release. We’ve finally added support for encrypted conversations with AOL’s Instant Messenger (AIM v6.5+). In fact, Net Nanny is the only parental control product that can actually monitor and alert on conversations that include predatory and cyberbully behavior for AIM 6.5 or greater. So remain comforted knowing that your kids can’t get around Net Nanny, no matter how hard they try.Here are some of the highlighted features and fixes for Net Nanny 6.0.1:
