6StarReviews decided to study and compare parental Internet control software and Content Protect's Net Nanny is one of the parental control software reviews we conducted. We downloaded, installed and used NetNanny 5.5 to see just how well this parental control software works and how easy it is to use. The results of our findings are outlined in the following review.

User Interface and Product Application:
The installation of the Net Nanny was very easy. The process involved a simple online download, followed by user-friendly installation prompts. Content Protect's Net Nanny parental Internet control software runs in the background and is very easy to configure. When you install the software, you select a password.

To configure the parental Internet control software and to run the NetNanny reports, a user simply needs to log into the software's interface using the password that was created during the installation process. The interface is very intuitive and the system provides easy-to-follow prompts when configuring settings and running reports.

We were able to configure the settings to prevent access to certain games and websites and were able to run reports seeing exactly how long a user was online and which sites were filtered. The report functions also allowed us to review all instant messaging activity for the computer it was installed on.
