When you don't have the bandwidth to stand over Junior's shoulder to monitor his Internet activity, ContentWatch will happily oblige. The company provides software that allows parents to control just what their children see on the unwieldy Internet. The program consists of e-mail and browsing shields, as well as applications for blocking intruders and reporting on Internet usage. Used in more than 125 countries worldwide, ContentWatch caters its security software products to the home, library, education, government, and small to midsized business markets. ContentWatch expanded its offerings when it acquired Net Nanny from online media company LookSmart.
