Last week, we discussed many of the Internet Options available in the Control Panel. This week, we ll finish up that discussion and explore Modems and Mice. Let s start we left off. This is the section that helps your system decide which servers on the Internet are safe and which aren't. Whenever you give your credit card to a website, you need to ensure that the little padlock and keys icon is showing in the bottom right corner.
Sites can turn on and off that icon IF they have a certificate.
Feel free to look around this section, but there really aren't that many useful options to change. This can be very useful if you are selling or giving your old computer to someone else. After you get through playing around in that window, close it. Chances are, many of you have been here before. This section is a common destination when your friendly telephone tech support person is troubleshooting your bad or slow connection to the Internet.
