 Is it my computer? Or the CD-rom?Jan 04, 2009
Hello, refering to the 5.0 net nanny version.
This was a dud.It could be my 56k connection, or my slow intel celeron processor. But It crashed my computer many times during use. Did not work well.
Limited optionsAug 26, 2008
I have been using NetNanny on 2 computers for over 6 months. I like the filtering and time restrictions, but thats where the pros end. The internet time usage feature does not work and customer support have not been able to offer any help. When I enable this feature the internet is totally blocked upon logging in. Also this program is an all or nothing program, meaning it completely blocks all internet use at the times you plug in, which maybe useful for a family with young children less than 8. Myself I prefer a program that will allow access to the inetrnet for specific programs that I allow for homework etc and then restricted all others. This is not possible with NetNanny at this time. This coupled with the non functioning options within the program and annual subscription rates prompted me to rate it at 2 stars. There are better options available
Why BotherSep 27, 2007
It might protect a 5 year old but after that, there are work arounds that are just too easy. crtl-alt-del buttons expose the software to deactivation. Or if you go to google, it does not prevent you from going to the picture or video sections. There must be better software solutions out there

This is not a good productJun 29, 2007
From the minute - no second - I installed this program my computer quit working properly. My Broadband behaved like 56k dialup. Even after uninstalling I still am having issues. I was a paying customer who wrote several emails to support and didn't get one response. This is a waste of money. I came across a free software that so far works great. Before you spend a dime try K-9. Stay clear of net nanny

One to avoidJun 28, 2007
Good concept but appalling implementation. I installed the 14 day trial version and then bought a licence to test it further. Unfortunately the issued licence did not match the installed software. Tried to install the licenced software - can't; trialware is already installed. Tried to remove the trialware - can't; needs a password that I didn't set. Can't get a new password by email because the automated system won't recognise the address I used to register with. Emails to customer support go unanswered. I'm left with an expired trialware that can't be uninstalled and a licence that I can't use. A complete waste of time and money.
