A FEW WORDS ABOUT NETCLEAN NetClean has developed a unique solution for identifying and blocking downloads, handling and distribution of child pornography. Possession of child pornography is against the law. We work together with police authorities worldwide as well as children’s organizations like BRIS, World Childhood Foundation and ECPAT. NetClean would complete any current computer security measures since it is the only available software targeting child pornography. NetClean is a way to integrate social responsibility with successful business making. As with environmental awareness and sustainable development, a stand against child pornography is proof that your organization adopts and lives up to commonly recognized values. Implementation of NetClean doesn’t just mean your networks are protected from suspected illegal material. It means your company is protecting innocent children.

Who is the pedophile?
(Source: Kripos, Norwegian Newspaper Helgeland)
1. The experimenter Opens child porn site out of curiosity. Saves pictures due to excitement and lack of judgement. He is not a pedophile, but a relationally disturbed, amoral person without boundaries, who looks for excitement on the Internet instead of in reality.
2. The addict This person is hooked on child pornography, but didn’t realize this until he discovered the pictures. He is at risk for sinking deeper into the pit of child pornography -maybe even crossing the last boundaries and assaulting children himself.
3. The offender This person assaults children himself, takes pictures or documents it on film, and uses the images to trade for other images. (Source: Börje Svensson, Psychotherapist with Save the Children, Sweden and Norrtälje Correctional Facility)
