LookSmart Adds Porn Free Search to Net Nanny

LookSmart today announced the release of Net Nanny 5.1, an updated version of its Internet filtering software, and the first version to include family-safe Web search. Net Nanny 5.1 has a suggested retail price of $39.95 for new buyers of Net Nanny and is a free upgrade for all Net Nanny 5.0 users, available at www.netnanny.com.

Net Nanny is the best known parental control software, used by parents, schools, libraries and other institutions to filter pornographic and other inappropriate content from the Web. Net Nanny search is built on a LookSmart-powered search index which has been reinventing itself over the past year. LookSmart claims to have filtered over 70 million pornographic web pages out of Net Nanny search results creating more of a family-safe environment.

“Children today are using incredibly powerful search engines to find the best and the worst of the Web,” said David Kopp, vice-president and general manager of Net Nanny. “With Net Nanny 5.1 and Net Nanny’s family-safe search, parents no longer have to choose between a powerful Internet tool like Web search and protecting their children from adult sites. LookSmart’s Net Nanny search delivers relevant, deep search results without the porn.”
