Net Nanny Parental Control for Mac

With Net Nanny for Mac, users can protect their computers and safeguard their children from unwanted Internet content. Net Nanny for Mac establishes a barrier around your computer with its predefined categories, but also allows users to create their own custom categories, offering a level of protection that is unmatched.

Net Nanny for Mac sets up a protective wall around your computer. Its predefined categories let you choose what you don't want your children to see, and you can also create your own custom categories. Net Nanny for Mac from ContentWatch blocks adult web sites, sites with subjects not fit for children, and even blocks chats when predatory language is used. It blocks all offensive content coming from the Internet.

Net Nanny works with multiple users, and interfaces seamlessly with the Mac OS X user accounts on your computer. If you have several children, you can set different criteria corresponding to their age or maturity. You can choose whether they have access to newsgroups, e-mail, or whether they can download files. You can set the program to let them only use the Internet at certain times, and on certain days. You can choose to block or allow specific web sites, allow users only to use selected applications, and block access to specific types of content, such as streaming media or peer-to-peer file transfers. The program can even send you e-mail, automatically, when certain events occur.

Net Nanny for Mac enhances and complements the existing parental controls already found in Mac OS X Leopard, but provides a further lever of protection. Net Nanny for Mac is also compatible with earlier versions of the Mac operating system and will be available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Japanese. Along with predefined and customizable filtering categories, Net Nanny for Mac also offers the following features:

• Usage Reports - Provides parents and administrators with a detailed log of users' Internet activity.
• Time Management - Allows users to control when and for how long the Internet may be accessed.
• Browser Alerts - Displays a warning when access to a blocked or potentially dangerous page is attempted.
• Content Assistant - Assists users in defining the appropriate level of protection for each individual user.
