Need Net Nanny type sofware recommendations please...

jxman · 01-31-2005, 03:23 PM

Hi All,

Just had a bad experience with my 12 year old daughter who was surfing the web and came across of porn stuff unexpectedly. So, now researching Net Nanny type software. I'm going to give "Cybersitter" a try first but wondering if anyone in the community is using anything that they really like and it's liked?

Thanks !

I use to use this one:

good for chat windows too. and will take screen capture if a word (in your list) is typed, ie.. drugs, sex what ever words you choose.

Have you had any missed websites with the software? My understanding of cybersitter and NetNanny is that they will miss between 10-8% of the stuff they should have blocked.

actually, this software monitors where she goes and what she types only. It does not block websites.

Also: if your kids use Google, click on the Google preferences, and select a stronger filter.
