How to use Content Advisor to browse the Web safely

Are you worrying about the websites your children view every night? Do you want to never see any porn sites pop up on the screen? Well, you can do so with Content Advisor. This is one of the most advanced features of Internet Explorer to help users control what they want to browse and see.

How to activate Content Advisor?

To activate this useful tool, you have to go to the Tools menu and click on Internet Options. You will see a tab named “Content”, just click on it and click on the Enable button. A box will pop up to enable you to customize your choice. Click on the General tab will help you set the password for the settings. This password will prevent unwanted modification from other people, such as your children ( If the child cannot access a page he wants, he may attempt to modify the Content Advisor settings first so setting a password will prevent him from doing so).

You will need to provide a Hint to the password, remember to provide a question that your child does not know the answer.

What if you want to limit access to  certain websites? No problem. You can do so by visiting the Content tab again. There will be a Settings button there. You will be able to specify which sites to approve and which sites to ban by entering the site name into the appropriate box. The Always button means that the site you specify will be accessible while the Never button means that the site will never be loaded.

If for some reason you need to turn off Content Advisor, you can do so by cl;icking the Disable button on the Content tab under Internet Options.  With this little useful tool in hand, you can rest assured that your children will see what they are allowed to see.
