As a participant in Project: Safe Returns we're happy to offer you a discount on Net Nanny- the best parental controls software available today!
Net Nanny
"1 in 5 children aged 10 to 17 have received a sexual solicitation over the Internet." Net Nanny is a powerful, yet simple to install parental control solution that helps parents protect their children and monitor their Internet use. More than an Internet Filter, it is peace of mind.
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.
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.
Remote Management
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. Monitor web browsing and instant messaging- from anywhere!

Net Nanny for Mac
You don't let your children read just anything, do you? Well, without Net Nanny, they can see whatever they want on the Internet, unless you're there to watch over their shoulders. With Net Nanny, the Internet is a safer place for your children.
Net Nanny for Mac sets up a protective wall around your computer. Its predefined categories let you choose what you don't want your children to see, and you can also create your own custom categories.
Net Nanny for Mac from ContentWatch blocks adult web sites, sites with subjects not fit for children, and even blocks chats when predatory language is used. It blocks all offensive content coming from the Internet.
Net Nanny works with multiple users, and interfaces seamlessly with the Mac OS X user accounts on your computer. If you have several children, you can set different criteria corresponding to their age or maturity. You can choose whether they have access to newsgroups, e-mail, or whether they can download files. You can set the program to let them only use the Internet at certain times, and on certain days. You can choose to block or allow specific web sites, allow users only to use selected applications, and block access to specific types of content, such as streaming media or peer-to-peer file transfers. The program can even send you e-mail, automatically, when certain events occur.
Overview Screen
Net Nanny for Mac provides an Overview screen which, for each user, displays a summary of their settings and a usage report.
- User information: At the top of the screen, you see the user's name, profile and reporting options. You also see a silhouette for the user, or a photo, if you have set one.
- Filter settings: The middle section shows the current settings for each of Net Nanny's filters. A round, colored icon at the bottom right of each filter icon gives you information on the type of filtering: green means there are no restrictions, orange means there are some restrictions, and red means there is no access. Texts next to each filter icon give you more information about each filter and its settings.
- Usage report: The bottom section shows a usage report for the user: their last Internet connection, how many web pages they have visited and how many have been blocked, and the types of content that have been blocked.
Detailed Logs
Full logs of your users' Internet activity. Choose from simple or detailed logs, or only see which sites and applications have been blocked. Logs can also be exported.
Schedule Internet Access
Choose when your children can access the Internet, and for how long. Net Nanny lets you set a schedule for each of your users, either individually, or as part of a custom user profile. You can offer users unlimited access, set time limits per day, or only authorize specific periods.
Browser Alerts
When Net Nanny for Mac filters block access to web pages, or when a user attempts to view sites that are listed in the Blocked Sites tab, the program displays a warning in their browser, saying that Net Nanny has blocked the page.
Alerts are also displayed when an application or a protocol is blocked from a user.
Configuration Assistant
The Net Nanny for Mac Assistant helps you choose the appropriate settings for your children.
The Assistant walks you through the configuration process, and explains the types of content that Net Nanny filters, and how this filtering is done.
