Net Nanny is the best online security application for parents


Parental control was never more necessary than it is today. Net Nanny provides security features that every parent can use. Sync it across various devices to ensure children do not view inappropriate material online.

Net Nanny, which in the past went by the name Content Protect, is undoubtedly the best parental software available today. For those who have kids, Net Nanny comes across as the best long term option to shield their vulnerable young ones from all the negative and objectionable content that is available online.

A tremendous lot of positive reviews have surfaced about Net Nanny, vouching for the application as being the best online security software there is. This is good news for concerned parents; who fear for their children and what they might learn, watch, and do in the virtual world. The application is especially well suited for parents who are not technology savvy, as it begins working the second it is downloaded, without the need of prodding and tweaking.


However, the app does have a feature that allows it to be customized if the parent wishes to personalize it. This feature allows parents to choose the sort of material they want to filter and permit the kind of stuff they think appropriate, for their kids to view. In addition to this, the application assimilates age-based profiles, so parents can tweak settings, especially if theirs is a home to children of varying ages. For further convenience each age-based filter setting is password protected.


Features summarized


Leading edge technology ensures appropriate filtering and blocking of content is carried out. Net Nanny does not just enable you to limit usage of specific groups of websites, such as chat rooms, betting, gambling, weapons, illegal drugs, pornography and other such sites, but also permits you to record and monitor your children's activity, remotely regulate the application, set specific time deadlines, mask vulgarity and swear words as well as block video gaming sites, based on their rating.

The application works with common search engines like Google and Yahoo, social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and a host of video platforms – allowing parents to wholly customize their children's online experience. For additional protection and reassurance, the application could also be used to scrutinize, manage and check messenger chats along with other kinds of online communication, for instance forum, emails, Usenet and FTP. Furthermore, the application supports a number of languages, implementing its blocks and filters throughout.

Compatibility and convenience


Probably the most prominent feature of Net Nanny is its compatibility with various devices and systems. The application is compatible with different versions of Windows – Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows XP. It also works with iPhone, Android and Mac handsets. Because of this with a single installation of Net Nanny, you will be able to screen all mobile devices – for example smartphones, computers and tablets that your children may use. What's more, it means that you will be in a position to moderate your children's internet usage from all of these devices, either remotely or on location. All filters, policies and restrictions set in one device will mechanically sync across all other platforms. The installed software program updates itself regularly, so you are sure of the latest version of filters at all times.

Net Nanny will automatically check your children's activity and alert you via mail or over the phone, whenever it notices an attempt being made to gain access to sites that are marked restricted, or when there are warning signs of bullying, sexual solicitation, intimidation or other offensive content within the moderated communications. Each of the aforementioned combined with the user-friendly interface, make Net Nanny the most suitable choice for providing you total control, and to ensure you of your children's security online.

Distinctions


Net Nanny has received some prestigious honours, and continues to be honoured with a lot of awards and recognition, among which there are the distinguished Editor's Choice PC Magazine Award, an exceptional score of 99.4 at FindThe Best, ranking first in internet filters at TopConsumerReviews, and bagging the Excellence and Gold Awards at TopTenREVIEWS. These distinctions appropriately point towards the true worth of Net Nanny.
