Easy to Install & Configure

Net Nanny is the #1 rated Parental Control Filter in part because it is so easy for parents to install and manage. We designed Net Nanny with less computer experienced parents in mind. Let's face it, most of our kids know way more about the computer and Internet than we do. Net Nanny installs automatically in just a few minutes, and has an easy, intuitive interface that make configuring and looking at reports of your children's Internet activity a snap. Net Nanny even offers a simple, easy to use set-up assistant to help you determine what online activities (Web sites, chat, gaming and social networks) are appropriate based on your family-member's age.

Unlimited Toll-Free Technical Support

Net Nanny offers the best, most friendly customer service in our industry! Best of all our support representatives will hold your hand through any aspect of installing, configuring or managing Net Nanny. They will never make you feel like you don't know enough about computers... even if you don't.

Blocks Pornography and Protects Families and Children

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.

Integration With Popular Search Engines

The new Net Nanny integrates seamlessly with "Safe Search" options found in popular search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Dogpile, AltaVista, Lycos, AllTheWeb, and MSN. This means your children can't search on a search engine and even see links to blocked sites. This new feature enables better protection against pornographic images when doing an "image only" search. If a child attempts to turn off the safe search capability from the search engine, Net Nanny will turn it back on in real-time as the search is occurring. The only way to bypass the safe search is with your unique administrator password, which only you as the parent knows. Believe it or not, Net Nanny actually blocks content in multiple languages to provide even more enhanced protection for your family.

More than Just Web Protection

Did you know that there are many ways your children can access pornography and questionable content on the Internet. Net Nanny provides full protection on not just the World Wide Web, but also less known but equally dangerous parts of the Internet like the Usenet, Peer-to-Peer downloading networks, Chat Rooms, Instant Messages, FTP, Forums and email. If you have never heard of some of those areas of the Internet, it is possible that your kids have. But don't worry. Net Nanny knows about them, and protects your children from the bad content on them.

Remote Management

Net Nanny has enhanced its administration tools. Powerful Remote Management tools exist to help parents to manage and maintain Internet policies from any Internet connection. Net Nanny has also been enhanced to synchronize your settings almost instantly.

Predator and Cyberbully Alerts

Net Nanny's Instant Message Monitor feature examines the content of Instant Messages and alerts parents to possible online predators, cyberbullies and other inappropriate messages sent or received through popular Instant Messaging programs.

Filter Alerts on Your Cell Phone

Net Nanny users are often on the go and unable to check their emails every couple minutes. An alert letting you know that your child is attempting to view an inappropriate website can now be sent to your cell phone (in addition to your email). Cell phone alerts are sent out within five minutes, giving you the opportunity to intervene. Get set to receive cell phone alerts... in just 2 easy steps!

Social Networking Dashboard

Parents can easily access and view their children's Social Networking activities on commonly used sites like Facebook, through Net Nanny's powerful new Social Networking Dashboard feature.

PC Game Management

Net Nanny is proud to partner with the ESRB, becoming the first desktop parental control software to set age-based video gaming restrictions using the ESRB rating system and the content of video games.

Filtering of Encrypted and Secure Proxy Websites

Using secure proxy Websites is the number one method used by tech-savvy kids to circumvent desktop filters. Net Nanny now aggressively blocks attempts to get around filtering by blocking and filtering secure proxy and encrypted Websites.

Customized White and Black Lists

Net Nanny 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.

Total Customization

As a parent, you will have the administrator password that easily allows you to customize the level of Internet access for users in your home. You can have full un-filtered access to the Internet while making sure that your children are fully protected. You have the ability to partially or fully block Instant Messaging, Peer-to-Peer downloading, chat rooms. You can even allow or disallow access to specific sites that you specify. All through an easy to use interface. And don't forget our toll free technical support if you need help.

Enhanced Reporting

Already recognized as best in class, Net Nanny reports have provided parents with a first class presentation of Internet activity of children. As a parent you will know what sites your children have visited, and what sites they have attempted to visit. You will also be able to see full text of the actual Instant Messages. Net Nanny empowers parents to monitor and or block children's access to certain areas of the Internet. Internet Predators don't have a chance against parents armed with Net Nanny.

Computer Time Management

How much time do your children spend on the computer each day? Parents can have Net Nanny limit time spent online to a specified period each day.

Automatic Updates

With state-of-the-art technology, Net Nanny updates itself automatically on the Internet. You never need to install an upgrade yourself, but you will always have the most current version available. As the Internet changes, Net Nanny changes with it. You can rest assured that you will always have the most up-to-date list of pornographic and other questionable sites installed to give you maximum protection.
