- Not compatible with all ISP's
I can't really comment on the product, because I never got to use it. Net Nanny 4.0 is not compatible with several popular ISP's (AOL, CompuServe and Road Runner). You would think that this information would be mentioned in obvious places, but it's not.

- Net Nanny is too slow.
I can't believe how much this product slowed the internet. It took me 8 minutes to open to my home page and I have a cable modem! I deactivated Net Nanny and tried it again, it was up and running in no time.

As far as blocking web pages, it seems to do the job. However, it blocks some sites I don't want it to, like the customer support page for my Internet Provider. I even entered the web page in 'NN Can Go' and it still won't let me in.

- Cybersitter ain't great, but it's better than Net Nanny
Hate to criticize a product like this, because they perform a valuable service, but I found this to have a number of deficiences in limited use. For example, it seems to require a password for everyone to logon to. There may have been a way to access sites w/out having to type each one in, but I couldn't figure it out. Under WinME, it caused a consistent page fault in Netscape 6.2 in some DLL that I'd never even heard of. The problem magically went away when I uninstalled Net Nanny.

Have switched to Cybersitter and recommend it over Net Nanny. CyberSitter is unobtrusive; the only person asked for a password is the administrator when they double-click the program in the quick start tray. Screen layouts are intuitive, something lacking in so many products, and the product is stable with lots of configuration options. For example, you can eliminate porn but still get into hunting or other politically incorrect sites. Unfortunately Cybersitter has stupid problems of its own: 1) it "catches" way too many legitimate sites. In fact, I've had to put just about every site I use regularly in its 'acceptable sites' list. 2) You have no control over what phrases it is monitoring, and it monitors legitimate words and phrases. This is VERY annoying. 3) Its method of parsing causes a lot of DLL crashes in Netscape and IE. 4) Cybersitter also tends to time out on newsreaders because it is getting stuck when filtering porn spams. You cannot filter only certain newsgroups; it's all or nothing.

Despite these maddening problems, Cybersitter is the best of a bad lot. It's better than nothing (I know that's hardly a glowing review, but it's true). Gentlemen: A program like this is a good way to keep yourself out of places you should not go; let your wife have the password.

- Kids learn quick
Do you know why you don't have any problems with your young/teenage sons and daughters, its is because kids learn quick. you check the log, "Oh good, johnny hasn't being doing anything naughty" well the likelyhood is he has. It will only take a fews day for the more determined kid to work out how to shut it off. So stop fooling yourself and unwrap that cotton wool because protecting your kid is probably the worst thing you can do "for their own good" they have to learn themselves.

- Net.Nanny 4.0
Sorry,can't make a review on something I have not seen nor tried.
Right now I really do not know what to chose.
Norton Internet Security was Not even giving me protection.
I was totally unaware of this until something happened.
Really need somebody's expert advice on which way to go.
