Web Components: You can use these to block undesirable Web componenents or behavior. Select the desired options:

•Turn Proxy filtering on: Block use of a remote Proxy Server. A Proxy Server can be used to hide the real name or address of the site which your LAN users are connecting to. By enabling this option, you force LAN users to connect directly, so their activity can be logged and/or blocked.

•Turn Java filtering on: Block Java applets.

•Turn ActiveX filtering on: Block ActiveX components (OCX files) used by IE on Windows, and by Windows Update.
