Net Nanny v3.0
Net Nanny is a Windows-based Internet and PC screening and filtering tool that allows parents and other administrators to monitor children's incoming and outgoing Internet and computer activities, online or off, in real-time. Parents or administrators have full discretion over which content, material, words, personal information (telephone & credit card numbers), phrases, sites or URLs should be monitored and blocked through Net Nanny's fully editable screening lists. Because Net Nanny is running on the PC, it prevents the loading and running of any unauthorized programs, drives or files.

Net Nanny can be turned on or off through the administration program, which resides on the computer and is accessible by password only.
