NET NANNY GETS FROM COMPUTER ACTIVE

"Net Nanny 6 is powerful and easy to use "

January 2010

As well as letting the user set limits and a daily schedule for web access, Net Nanny also lets them monitor control access to chat rooms , instant messaging and peer-to-peer services , and it can even monitor Facebook profiles.

 

Games can be blocked, and it can also block most of the technical tricks used by savvy teenagers to get around parental control software.

 

All online activities can be monitored and logged and email alerts are sent to an administrator (any user can be given administrator rights) when certain things happen - if a user tries to access a blocked site, for example.

 

Six pre-set age categories for users make the initial setup a bit easier - for example, choosing ‘Young Child' sets up white list filtering, blocks all non-browsing activities and blocks internet use between 9am and 6pm. These settings can be modified later.

 

Users can be allowed to request overrides - these are sent by email for approval by an administrator.

 

A very useful feature is that you can manage all program settings and approval requests remotely from any PC using a secure website.
