Net Nanny Parental Controls
from ContentWatch
Overview
Net Nanny Parental Controls is a software program developed by ContentWatch. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named cwadmintools.exe. The setup package generally installs about 43 files and is usually about 62.82 MB (65,870,376 bytes). The installed file Updater.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows Vista (SP2). While about 85% of users of Net Nanny Parental Controls come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Australia.
