NetNanny for Mac Update

The NetNanny for Mac website is now online at http://www.netnanny.com/mac.  It appears that the new product is a branded version of Intego’s ContentBarrier X4 product.  If you compare the screen shots from here: http://www.netnanny.com/mac/features and http://www.intego.com/contentbarrier/ you will find them pretty much the same with NetNanny branding instead of Intego branding.

New Consumer Internet Filter - Livia Web Protection

On July 21st San Diego based Total Tech launched a new Internet filtering service call Livia Web Protection.  The solution is powered by Websense filtering technology.

Livia seems to have the basics of web blocking and reporting capabilities, but lacks many other features you will find in most parental controls software such as time controls, IM blocking & monitoring, or privacy features.  Maybe these things are yet to come.

The price of Livia is higher than most parental control software at $4.95 per month for 1 computer and $2.95 a month for additional computers.  That works out to $59.40/year for 1 computer, 94.80/year for 2 computers, or $130.20/year for 3 computers.  While an award-winning solution like Safe Eyes is only $49.95/year for up to 3 computers.  Livia seems pretty pricey out of the gate.

I’m unable to find system requirements on thier site, but I would assume this service is for Windows PC’s only.
