Working directly with the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), Net Nanny is the first parental control software solution to set age-based gaming restrictions using the ESRB rating system and the first to block desktop PC games based on categories including violence, sex, alcohol and drugs.

Managing games with the unique Net Nanny games console is simple and easy to use.

When you've entered your admin control panel you simply select your user and then "Manage Games" to log your desired settings.

You can then choose to manage by "Ratings", Games" and "Descriptors"

Games

Descriptors

To block games that contain certain types of content you can select the unapproved content descriptors from the Descriptors list.
