Software
to Protect Kids online
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 software to protect kids online to recommend to our visitors.
We had 5 main 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
-
It would be reasonably priced allowing most
families the opportunity of purchase
During our trials we tested over 25 popular software
to protect kids online and found very differing results.
Many software to protect kids online 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 software to
protect kids online.
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!
You can purchase Net Nanny directly from the
Kidshield Store for only
£29.99

Children and young people often place
themselves at risk online by engaging in risky, cybersexual
behaviour. These situations could have been prevented if young users
had been sufficiently empowered to stay in control of their personal
information online or recognise and take steps to protect themselves
from risky engagement with suspicious contacts. Source:
