Dynamic Contextual Analysis
Dynamic filtering technology sets Net Nanny apart as the #1 Internet
filtering software, 6 years running!
How do traditional Internet filters work?
Competing Internet filter software uses only a list based filtering system - meaning that when a user tries to visit a Website, the filter simply
checks the Website address (URL) against a huge (hopefully) list of banned Websites. If the URL is on the list, BLOCK. If the URL is not on
the list, ALLOW.
However, list based filters have a huge downside. The content on web pages changes constantly, not just daily, but all the time. That means
that any list is instantly out of date. Sure, you can have a team of monkeys categorizing new Websites, but millions of new Websites are
created every single day. You can't keep up.

What makes Net Nanny different?
In addition to using a list, Net Nanny has developed an engine that analyze's the content of every web page visited, in real time, and use
special algorithms to categorize the content of the Website, and then, based on administrator settings, BLOCK or ALLOW the Website.
Even better, Net Nanny categorizes Websites based on the content of their pages into one of 35 different categories (pornography,
gambling, violence, etc.). From the easy to use Net Nanny controls dashboard, you can determine which categories you'd like to ALLOW,
and which you'd like to BLOCK.

Dynamic Contextual Analysis Example
For example, if someone is looking for a chicken recipe, they may search Google for "breasts". Of course, such a broad search term will
return a wide variety of Websites, including some about chicken breasts, breast cancer, and a plethora of pornographic content. As you
proceed to a site, the technology behind Net Nanny will search the page you're going to, looking for keywords, patterns, images, etc. that help
Net Nanny know if that page is appropriate or not. By this method, Net Nanny will block sites containing pornography, but allow content about
chicken breasts. Even if the pornographic site is brand new, Net Nanny can still read the content and determine that the page contains
inappropriate content. Net Nanny has been so fine tuned that the process of analysing each page on the fly, before displaying them, takes only
a fraction of a second and doesn't take away from your Internet experience!
