Amazon.ca Product Description

Net Nanny provides you with a broad set of Internet safety tools. It allows you to safeguard your privacy, stop pornography and other objectionable material from coming into your home, and limit your children's online activities.

Net Nanny lets you filter and block Web sites by URL or keyword, and filter content in e-mail, IRC chat, and newsgroups. Limit access to your PC by time of day and total amount of connect time, or restrict access to online activities (chat, instant messengers, games, file sharing). Protect confidential information, block pop-up and pop-under advertisements, and block Internet cookies. You can also monitor Internet activity for an individual, a group, or all users.

Net Nanny is a First Amendment-friendly Internet filtering application--users have complete access to the program's database of Web sites, keywords, and Internet-enabled applications.

Customer Reviews

VERY disappointed with this software (2007-01-24)

Only the CD was in the box....absolutely no supporting material, no instructions, nada. It's slowed our computer down to an unbearable pace AND it won't block sights that we have configured it to block. It's a total waste of money as far as we are concerned. Now we have to find something else to use. I only gave it 1 star because it wouldn't allow me to have zero stars.

Slows down the computer! (2004-03-14)

The main problem with this software is that it boggs down the computer while you're surfing the net. Pages that used to come down in 3 seconds took 15 seconds or more to come down. I eventually just uninstalled it because it was driving my kid crazy. I bought CyberSitter instead and that's working great.

Beware (2003-04-24)

Beware! I'm a teenager whose parents set this program up to protect me. It's a nightmare! It constantly pops up messages that say a site is inappropriate for me, but then it lets me in anyway. There usually is absolutely nothing bad about the site, either. Sometimes it lets me into sites that I do think are bad without complaints. Net Nanny will also display its logo across the whole screen saying the site is blocked, but let me in if I reload the site! Also, it will block out sites that I know aren't bad because it had let me into the site before. The worse thing of all, however, has to be the fact that Net Nanny will delete its memory. My father told it to allow me into a site, but then it would begin to complain. When we checked, its memory was cleaned out. It deleted its own memory! My parents, thankfully, let me have an adult's log. It sometimes blocks adults out of sites! I've seen it block my mother out of credit union sites. It also will display messages that say 'Net Nanny cannot begin filtering until someone logs in.' But someone IS logged in!

Beware!

Net Nanny 5.0 (2002-12-30)

It's nasty out there. I've tried other programs which were cumbersome. Net Nanny 5.0 is extremely easy to set up and very flexible in its configuration. It can filter from preset lists of objectionable sites or can be user adjusted. It can limit internet time usage to avoid hours of mindless surfing. It may cause some minor, but perceptable slowing, but it is worth the peace of mind. The best 30 bucks you'll spend if you have children who use the internet.
