Your McAfee Internet Security To-do List
n Improve your Internet browsing experience by preventing ads and
pop-up windows from displaying.
n Shield younger family members from distasteful or undesirable content.
Users of the Internet, at all age levels can exposed to inappropriate Web
site content. A simple typographical error in the text box of your favorite
search engine could return graphic gore, rather than cartoons; or
pornography, rather than recipes.
Therefore, when possible, configure your software to enable parental
controls and block access to inappropriate content. Here are a few tips.
M Scan site content ratings and vocabulary.
Identify the content that you want to allow the user to view; filter
and scan for inappropriate vocabulary. If the user is multi-lingual,
you may wish to consider scanning and blocking inappropriate
vocabulary in more than one language.
M Block access to specific Web sites, Proxy sites, and Newsgroups.
If there is a specific Web site or proxy site that you do not want a
user or family to have access to, configure the user's profile as such.
Newsgroups may also be a source for undesirable content. When
possible, identify the specific Newsgroup that you want to
explicitly block or allow access to and update the user's profile.
n Block access to specific programs.
If there are any programs that you do not want to allow a user or family
member to use, block the user's ability to start the program.
n Limit the time a user may access the Internet.
Designate a specific time of day that you will allow a user or family
member the ability to connect to the Internet. Modify each user profile as
necessary.
n And clean up when you are finished!
Configure your software to remove all files associated with browsing the
Internet. You can configure the program to remove cookies as you close
your Internet browser.
