Restricting Internet content

The Internet provides you with a wide variety of information, but some information may not be suitable for every viewer. With Content Advisor (a feature of Internet Explorer), you can:

￿Set up a password.

￿Control Internet access.

￿Set up a list of Web sites that people who use your computer cannot view.

￿Adjust the type of content people can view with and without your permission.

Once you set up restricted rating levels in Content Advisor, users can view Web sites and other pages that you have specified under the rating setup. However, to view unrated Web sites or pages, users must enter the Content Advisor password that you have set. This means that any unrated page, even Help and Support or Internet Explorer, is not viewable if the user does not know the password.

To enable Content Advisor:

1Click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar.

2Click Internet Explorer.

3Click Tools, and then click Internet Options.

4Click the Content tab.

5In the Content Advisor area, click Enable.

6Click the General tab, click Create password, and type a password.

7Click OK, and then click OK again.

To allow access to an unrated site or page you approve of:

1Open the Web site.

2When the password window appears, select the Always allow viewing or Allow viewing only this time option.
