Manage your children's time on the Internet
Scheduling times when a child can be on the Internet and the amount they can be online ensures that you know when they are on the Internet and how long. By not allowing them to have free reign reduces their chances of being exposed to inappropriate content.

Overall, the interface is attractive and intuitive.
Net Nanny for Mac provides an Overview screen which, for each user, displays a summary of their settings and a usage report.

It protects you and your family from online identity theft by keeping your IP address private, secure, and anonymous from online hackers and marketers. Anonymizer Anonymous also warns you before you unknowingly visit malicious phishing and pharming sites and secures data sent over wireless networks, whether at home or on the road.

Net Nanny internet safety reports have provided parents with a first class presentation of Internet activity of children. This parental control software allows you to set the times when your children can be online and it will help you to keep your children safe online. You will also be able to see full text of the actual Instant Messages. Net Nanny empowers parents to monitor and or block children's access to certain areas of the Internet. Besides, AVG has introduced Link Scanner recently which sometimes causes Net Nanny to not be able to display a block message.
