Internet predators are a very real problem and while much of the onus to resole the problem lies with authorities, protecting our children from the perils of using the Internet should be a major priority.

The Problem With Internet Usage
The Internet is an incredible tool offering information that is not widely available elsewhere and would otherwise be very difficult to get hold of. Many schools require that a child has access to the Internet either at home or at school so it is advantageous to your child’s development to have a computer with Internet access. While the problems are well documented they can be avoided for the main part.

What Is NetNanny?
NetNanny is a widely respected Internet content filter or Internet minder. It’s no coincidence that the name includes the term nanny because using NetNanny really is like employing a nanny to watch over your children during times when you can’t be there. As well as being able to block websites according to the category of content they include it is also possible to monitor Internet activity, email messages, and even Instant Messenger conversations. This gives you the opportunity to proactively talk to your children about any problems that may surface.

Multiple Accounts For Multiple Users
NetNanny enables you to set up accounts for anyone that might have access to the computer. Giving each user an individual account has certain advantages but you should be careful to set preferences very low for accounts that can be accessed by any family member. This way your children are encouraged to use their own account to log in giving you the ability to thoroughly and properly manage and monitor their online activities.

Time Management
The time management feature is particularly useful to ensure that you children do not spend an excessive amount of time on the Internet. While it is beneficial for a number of reasons, too much time on the Internet can lead to problems. Restricting access to certain times of certain days ensures that your children still have time to do their homework, eat proper meals, and get involved in group activities.

Restricting The Sending Of Personal Information
The submission and sending of personal information on the Internet can be a problem for several reasons. As well as encouraging Internet predators, it is also possible to give out personal details to identity thieves. Online identity theft is one of the most damaging problems you can face. With bank details, address, and personal details you are essentially giving out unrestricted and complete access to your financial accounts.

Preventing The Use Of Certain Applications
Instant messenger, peer-to-peer networks, and community sites have become a haven for adult content and other content that you may not want your child to see. One of the most effective ways to prevent gaining access to this information from these sites is to completely block their access. NetNanny lets admin users determine the programs that users cannot access.

NetNanny Conclusion
NetNanny is simple to use so even the most inexperienced computer user can quickly install the software. Usually this will take just a couple of minutes and then you are up and running, ready to protect your children’s online experience. The intuitive interface and simple options make it the perfect software for any family that is looking for complete control and absolute protection.
