Parental Control Software

 

In real life you would protect your children, so why not protect them on the Internet?

 

As parents, the team at Kidshield sought out to find the best parental control software to recommend to our visitors.  We had 4 key objectives:

 

  • It would be easy to install and understand - even for non IT literate parents

  • It would protect children against viewing over 18's material such as pornography sites

  • It would allow parents to adjust the software to suit children of different age ranges

  • It would be a reputable and trusted name, experienced in protecting children online

 

During our trials we tested over 25 popular parental control software programs and found very differing results.  Many parental control software programs either over-controlled and our kids were frustrated at constant 'barring', or they were so complicated that we guessed most parents wouldn't take the time to figure them out.

 

Our top pick amongst the 25 tested was Net Nanny which performed head and shoulders above other parental control software.

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

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 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.

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!

Subscription

A Yearly subscription to Net Nanny will help to give you peace of mind and keep your children protected from the continuing threat of surfing online without supervision. Let Net Nanny be your constant online look-out.

 

Net Nanny is:

 

  • 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!
