How to Get Rid of Net Nanny

Net Nanny is a useful tool for protecting children from accessing websites that aren't suitable for them. It can block sites intended for adults as well as social networking websites and chat rooms that put them at risk for predators. For several years it has been rated the top software for Internet filtering. Because of the importance of Net Nanny, it is more difficult to uninstall than most types of software. Net Nanny requires you to manually remove files in two different spots on the computer.
