Net Nanny Repeats as PC Magazine's Editors' Choice
for Parental Controls
Wednesday, December 10, 2008
"Net Nanny does everything a parental-control utility
should do"
Just weeks after being released to the public, Net Nanny 6.0, the
latest Internet filtering and parental controls software from ContentWatch, was
named Editors' Choice by PC Magazine for the second consecutive time and calling
it "a powerful and flexible parental-control solution that includes unique
features not found in any of its competitors."
"Net Nanny does everything you'd expect from a parental-control system extremely
well," said the review. "It's uniquely able to filter HTTPS sites, and its IM
monitoring outshines the rest by working at the protocol level. Net Nanny's
combination of e-mail alerts and full remote management mean you can keep tabs
on kids from work or from around the world. Net Nanny remains our Editors'
Choice for parental control."
In the review PC Magazine touted Net Nanny's ability to provide powerful content
analysis and blocking saying, "The program categorizes sites by checking its
database but also analyzes the content of Web pages as necessary. A brand-new
site won't slip through just because it hasn't been logged, nor will a prurient
page in a usually clean site."
One of the highlighted features in Net Nanny 6.0 is its ability to dynamically
filter secure proxy Web sites, which is the No. 1 method used by teens to
circumvent desktop filters. In the review, PC Magazine states, "Net Nanny can
block proxies, but it has a second line of defense: It filters both secure and
non-secure traffic, kids can't fool it by tweaking a Web address to use HTTPS.
This is highly unusual: I haven't seen any other product with this level of
control."
"The Internet is ever-changing and new threats like cyberbullying and cyber
predators arise every day, and we've built Net Nanny to effectively combat these
threats," said Jack Sunderlage, president and CEO of ContentWatch. "Being able
to provide parents with a product that protects their children and evolves with
the Internet is our number one priority. With Net Nanny, parents can be sure
they are getting the best possible protection out of any parental controls
product, and being named the editors' choice by PC Magazine confirms this."
The review also speaks highly of Net Nanny's Instant Message Management, another
new feature, saying "Net Nanny's IM monitoring is nothing short of phenomenal...
Net Nanny has two distinct styles of IM tracking that can be used separately or
together. The IM Recording feature records the entirety of every IM
conversation; Bsafe and Safe Eyes can do this as well. But the others have
nothing like Net Nanny's IM Monitoring."
Net Nanny 6.0 is compatible with the Windows Vista and Windows XP operating
systems
