Having gone on to the internet and looked up 2 different companies which sell software for the Net Nanny
Net Nanny Internet Filtering Basic Parental control
- Blocks Pornography and protects families and childrem

- PC game blocking
- IM Alert and Analysis
- Soical network profile reporting
- Secure website Filtering/ Blocking
- internet use time controls
- Intergration with popular serach engines
- Net Nanny software
- Enhanced reporting
- Customizable allowed or blocked lists
What I liked very much about this package was that it gave you Internet Use time control which most of the packages do, but this one gave you a hyperlink which allowed you to go in and it takes you through step by step and also shows you the many awards that it has received like labybird, and disney, which are something that a parent who may not be very up to spead on computers can notice straight away and release that this is a good package. Also it comes in at £39.99 which is a good price.
Net Nanny Home Suite
First of all it is more expensive and they have more packages than you really need.
This might put off parents who have less experience with computers.
