NET NANNY INTRODUCES PC NANNYÔ, DESKTOP SECURITY AND
FILE ENCRYPTION SOFTWARE FOR HOME COMPUTER USERS
Popularity of home PC increases need to protect computer from
unauthorized access and manipulation
Bellevue, Washington, June 1, 1999 - In response to consumer demand for easy-to-use
security tools for the home PC, Net Nanny Software International Inc. (NNS.V,
NNSWF-OTCBB, NNY-BERLIN), the trusted leader in Internet and PC filtering software,
announced today that it is offering PC NannyÔ. The product is designed for people, who are
looking for ways to protect personal, and in some cases, work-related, computer files and
functionality on their home computers. PC Nanny is now available via download from the Net
Nanny Web site at www.netnanny.com, and from Beyond.com at
www.beyond.com/PKSN104182/prod.htm, at a special introductory price of US$19.95.
"The more popular home computers become, the more people need easy-to-use security tools to
protect their sensitive computer files and settings," said Gordon Ross, President and CEO of Net
Nanny Software International Inc. "Our customers have been telling us that, while they remain
concerned about Internet safety, they are also worried about controlling activity within their home
PCs."
Offering the most features available in its price range, PC Nanny allows users to hide or block
access to the following: display and hardware settings, disk, zip and CD-ROM drives, MS DOS,
the "Device Manager" page, the "Start" menu, the "Find" key and individual computer files. The
product offers the same reliability found in the Company's other products, Net Nannyâ and
NNProÔ, and is a timely answer to the growing demand for security software tools.
"As the PC becomes a common household appliance, owners are increasingly anxious about kids,
spouses, roommates and others accessing, deleting or corrupting important documents. They are
also concerned about unwanted adjustments to desktop and hardware settings, the loading of
inappropriate and/or unlicensed games and other software that may be infected with viruses or
could incur liability for the computer owner. The market is looking for the peace of mind that PC
Nanny provides and we are proud to offer them a product they can depend on."
