Parental Control Software

 

Our top pick amongst the 25 tested by Kidshield  was Net Nanny which performed head and shoulders above other parental control software.  Net Nanny is more than an internet filter, it is peace of mind:

 

  • easy to install

  • easy to manage

  • provides monitoring of Instant Messaging and Peer-to-Peer Networking and lots more

  • costs less than an X-Box or PS2 game

  • Did everything we asked and more!

 

 

You can purchase Net Nanny directly from the Kidshield Store

 

 

 

 

 

Research shows up to one in 12 of the eight million British children with internet access have gone on to meet someone in reality after they first made contact on the internet.

 

A spokeswoman for the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre said: 'There is phenomenal growth in social networking sites, and young people have been putting personal information there which could easily identify them.

 

'We don't want them to put that kind of information online - because where young people go online, so do paedophiles. 'We will be seeking new safety features from the website operators. It's not a question of closing them down, we're just trying to stay one step ahead of those who are going online to exploit children.'
