Summary: "Nanny" is tough lady
Review: My teenage boys are tempted to view things online that I wouldn't approve of. By installing Net Nanny, they have been discouraged from even trying - and actually thanked me for providing a safeguard to help them discipline themselves. I have had zero problems with compatibility with other programs, it is easy to use, and doesn't slow down my computer. I highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars

Net Nanny 4 gives the parent or administrator complete control over what is being accessed from your PC. Net Nanny 4 is the solution for your family. Requirements: CD-ROM drive, Pentium or higher CPU, 50MB of available hard disk space, 32MB Ram, Windows 98, 98SE, NT or 2000 Stand Alone System, not compatible with AOL.

Summary: Scheduling function not exactly foolproof.
Review: Scheduling function not exactly foolproof.

I've experienced a variety of small issues using Net Nanny thus far (inability to use Norton Antivirus auto-updates, Win98 auto-updates, Outlook express issues, etc.) but I have to say the worst is the scheduling function.

We purchased NetNanny in part because of it's claimed ability to regulate access times to the internet via a scheduling function. This function allows you to set a schedule of time specific users can have access to the internet. The function works great. However we quickly noticed that simply changing the PC's time (via the clock on the taskbar) will bypass this feature. This renders this feature useless. I don't know of a child over the age of 8 that doesn't know how to change the PC's time.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Net.Nanny 4.0
Review: 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.
