Parental Control Software

 

In real life you would protect your children, so why not protect them on the Internet?

 

As parents, the team at Kidshield sought out to find the best parental control software to recommend to our visitors. 

During our trials we tested over 25 popular parental control software programs and found very differing results.  Many parental control software programs either over-controlled and our kids were frustrated at constant 'barring', or they were so complicated that we guessed most parents wouldn't take the time to figure them out.

 

Our top pick amongst the 25 trialled was Net Nanny which performed head and shoulders above other parental control software.  Net Nanny is:

 

  • easy to install

  • easy to manage

  • provides monitoring of Instant Messaging and Peer-to-Peer Networking and lots more

  • costs less than an X-Box or PS2 game

  • Did everything we asked and more!

 

 

You can purchase Net Nanny directly from the Kidshield Store for only £29.99

Children and young people often place themselves at risk online by engaging in risky, cybersexual behaviour. These situations could have been prevented if young users had been sufficiently empowered to stay in control of their personal information online or recognise and take steps to protect themselves from risky engagement with suspicious contacts.  Source:  CEOP
