Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Net Nanny respects your right to control how your family uses the Internet, based on your own unique needs and values. Net Nanny allows you to restrict and monitor Web sites, Email, IRC chats, and newsgroups that may be offensive and/or inappropriate for children.

Amazon.com Review:
We all know the Internet is coated with so much smut that it makes Larry Flynt look almost virginal. In reality, the majority of the nastiness online is buried deeper than it used to be. But if you have kids and they have access to the Net, it's still a good idea to take some precautionary steps, and one of the most important is using blocking software such as Net Nanny. Version 4.0 of this program offers an easier interface than previous versions, and, as with previous iterations, it lets users view and edit its questionable sites list.

This affordable program keeps tabs on what comes into your system from the at-large Web, filtering out pornographic sites and images as well as questionable words in chatrooms and newsgroups, hate literature, and even bomb recipes. It's not a catchall solution--even with the most stringent of settings, some PG-13 and above material trickled through. And it doesn't take the place of parental guidance and education. But it's a well-designed program that makes it easy for parents to keep tabs on the online activities of their children, in addition to protecting personal information and limiting users' online time. Its thick manual walks parents through the steps for configuring the software and also offers a Safe Family Contract, encouraging parents to talk to their kids about why they're using Net Nanny.

Net Nanny 4.0 installs easily and begins running automatically after a system reboot. The administrator sets up accounts (up to 12) for each family member with a specific login name and password, and can easily choose the filtering settings for each user, as well as scheduling the days and times that each user is allowed online. Sites can be blocked for individual users, or alternatively the administrator can create a list of only the sites he or she wants individual users to visit.

Net Nanny can be set to automatically update its database of filtered Web sites (the list of blocked sites and phrases also makes nice shock-value reading), so as new sites are added to the list, the software is kept up to date. The administrator can also check out the log file, which tracks the sites, newsgroups, and chatrooms that users visit, and logs information sent and received. The admin password is required to deactivate Net Nanny, view the log file, affect any changes to other users' settings, and even to uninstall the software.

While no filtering software is perfect--like other filtering software, Net Nanny sometimes blocks out the good with the bad, such as artistic sites--it's a flexible program that lets an administrator create unique sets of online user rules with an easy-to-use interface. --J. Curtis

- Scheduling function not exactly foolproof.
Scheduling function not exactly foolproof.

I've experienced a variety of small issues using Net Nanny thus far (inability to use Norton Antivirus auto-updates, Win98 auto-updates, Outlook express issues, etc.) but I have to say the worst is the scheduling function.

We purchased NetNanny in part because of it's claimed ability to regulate access times to the internet via a scheduling function. This function allows you to set a schedule of time specific users can have access ... Read More

- Don't buy this!
Be warned: this product does not work with current versions of Netscape; the Company claims to have a fix, but aren't advertising it and won't send the patch out unless you go through a 20 or so step set of instructions involving your "FTP client" in the DOS function of your computer to get a download. Not what I was hoping to do. In any case, on principle I wouldn't buy from this type of company.

Although my software promised 30 days of free telephone technical support, they ... Read More

- Net Nanny 4.0
I purchased Net Nanny from my local Staples Store; I installed it and discovered that it is totally useless. I t would immediately block out any page that I had set as my home page.

The problems continued when I set the user settings. Being a parent of a pre-teen I wanted to control what my child was accessing but as an adult I didn't need to be protected from myself. The program would block me from accessing sites, even though my user profile was set to not block anything.

- I'm sad
I'm very sad that this did not work. I heard a lot of hype about it and wasted my money. I did a simple search on google of word 'sex' , it returned me saveral pages and 3 links of sponsors, all porn sites. Needles to say I was able to browse their sponsors. I even updated the NN database, but same thing happen.

Other problem is that it is dragging the whole system down, I have cable ISP, it feels like I'm running modem connection. I did not like user name/password either. For big family ... Read More

- I Can't Get It To Work
I have tried and tried to get this product to operate correctly. No matter the setting I choose, it is either too strict or too permissive. I've tried using both a self created list and the one provided by Net Nanny. I cannot get either to work right. I am very frustrated by it and have been forced to uninstall it three times in order to access my homepage (ESPN.com). If you have more patience, maybe your result will be different, but I cannot recommend this product.
