Brisbane, Queensland, 18 August, 2009: Content Watch and Manaccom \u2013 one of Australia\u2019s longest established software suppliers \u2013 have released new Windows and Mac versions of Net Nanny in Australia and New Zealand aimed at targeting cyber bullies and internet predators.<\/p>\n
Manaccom Deputy Chairman, Ian Mackay explained, \u201cDue to increased internet usage, cyber bullying is a growing concern for Australian families and children find they have very few avenues to escape from such behaviour. Net Nanny offers a simple, cost-effective solution to this growing problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
Long regarded as the world\u2019s leading internet family safety software, Net Nanny is best known for its incredible flexibility and effectiveness at blocking and dynamically filtering websites, instant messaging, peer-2-peer networking and much more. <\/p>\n
While still setting the industry standard for these features, Net Nanny \u2013 winner of the TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award for the fifth year running \u2013 has tailored its latest Windows and Mac versions to give parents even more control and peace of mind. <\/p>\n
According to Mr Mackay, \u201cBlocking inappropriate web sites is an important aspect of parental controls, but this is no longer the only issue. Net Nanny tackles cyber bullying and internet predators head-on by alerting parents of any suspicious interactions that their children may have online. Alerts can be emailed to parents instantly – even while they\u2019re at work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Announcing Manaccom\u2019s introduction of Net Nanny for Mac for the first time into Australia\u2019s software retail market, he remarked that \u201cApple has been making serious inroads in the Australian market and we are very pleased to bring the same level of internet family safety to Mac users that Windows PC families have enjoyed for years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Net Nanny is available in all major software retail and independent stores now. The Windows Home Suite edition includes the bonus Content Cleanup tool.<\/p>\n
