It's no secret that the Internet is a bit dangerous, especially if you have kids. You can use the Content Advisor to limit the online locations that your computer can visit.

1. With IE open, choose Tools, Internet Options.

2. In the resulting Internet Options dialog box, click the Content tab to display it.

3. Click the Enable button. (Note: If there is no Enable button but Disable and Settings buttons instead, Content Advisor is already enabled. Click the Settings button to see the options and make changes if you wish.)

4. In the Content Advisor dialog box on the Ratings tab, click one of the four options: Language, Nudity, Sex, or Violence. Use the slider to set the site-screening level that's appropriate for you.

5. Repeat Step 4 for each of the categories.

6. Click the Approved Sites tab and enter the name of a specific site that you want to control access to. Then click either of the following options:

Always: Allows users to view the site, even if it's included in the Content Advisor screening level you've set.

Never: Means that nobody can visit the site even if it's acceptable to Content Advisor.

7. When you finish making your settings, click OK twice to save them.

If you want to view sites that you don't want others to see, you can do that, too. On the General tab of the Content Advisor dialog box, make sure that the Supervisor Can Type a Password to Allow Viewers to View Restricted Content check box is selected, and then click Create Password. In the dialog box that appears, enter the password, confirm it, and then enter a hint and click OK. Now if you're logged on as the system administrator, you can get to any restricted site by using this password.
