Browser Enabled Software Training Keep Your Internet Clean With hundreds of new web sites appearing every day and virtually no one monitoring the content of the sites available for viewing, many parents and teachers alike are concerned about children surfing the net unsupervised and finding inappropriate content. There are programs available on the Internet for downloading that address this concern, but Navigator and Internet Explorer include tools directly in the browser to address this concern as well. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up a password and then choose which sites should be allowed on your computer. If a particular site is not rated though, it may not be filtered.

While neither system is perfect, they do come free with the browser and enable adults to have some control over content when then can not be there every minute to supervise in person. A point to keep in mind though, when the Content Filters are enabled, they do their job, and may restrict access to sites you consider OK, but are cautioned for an area you are not concerned about. As with most features there are benefits as well as drawbacks.
