NIS2002/2003 both versions have a parent control feature and its pretty nice, blocks a huge amount of contents. If it does happen to block a site you want you can easily configure it to allow access to that site or domain.
Even blocks out warez and other blackmarket type of websites.
Used it all the time when my kids were on the net. took them off cuz they were playing too many disney stuffs so took them off the net and stuck thier computers in thier rooms.
The other stuffs like netnanny and other progs. I have no clue to how they work. my only experience is with NIS Parent control features. | |

well not really, kids usually went to disney, or nickjr or places like that or if they see a webaddress on tv they'll ask if they can go there or stuff of boxes of cherrios. 
All depends on what the kids want to do. | |

The real problem with NetNanny et cetera is that the blocked list is proprietary, and you don't know what biases are built in. | |

I had Netnanny and SafeSurf at one stage. Too restrictive for my teenager.  So tried Dan's Guardian in my IPCop firewall/router. Too buggy.
Now I just rely upon their own discretion (and keep a wary eye on my router logs.  ). Have only had to have one discussion with my 10yo about unsuitable sites. He normally just surfs the game cheat sites.  My 14yo dau seems to be pretty good with whats she surfs.
Cheers
