With Net Nanny, it's possible to prevent your browser, chat software, or e-mail client from transmitting personal data.

As with the other programs, you can schedule Net Nanny to regularly update its list of forbidden URLs, but Nanny is the only filter that shows you which sites are on its list, then lets you check off the ones you want your kids to access.Īfraid your little ones will share inappropriate information with strangers online? Don't be. Unlike Cyber Patrol or CyberSitter, Net Nanny lets you turn blocking off while still keeping a log of your children's online activities, including transcripts of any chats. When Junior does encounter a restricted site, Net Nanny responds in one of several ways: it blocks access to the site, shuts down the browser, or allows the page to load, but pops up a standard or customized warning. If you want an easy-to-use, customizable filter, Net Nanny's the way to go. True, the program's default filters block the fewest objectionable sites overall, but it's a cinch to add sites to your restricted list. For example, create a less restrictive filter for your teenage daughter but stricter controls for your toddler son. It's easy to customize Nanny for multiple users.
