NetNanny
A program from Trove Investment that allows parents to block out access to Internet sites and other online and local files they don't want their children to view. The blocking is based on a dictionary of phrases parents can modify. On the plus side, that means parents can set their own standards for what's suitable for their kids without attempting to censor what other people can see on the Net. On the negative side, the screening isn't perfect, and because it relies on words, it can only screen out either all pictures or those from certain named sites.
