with the tools to determine what is and is not appropriate material
for your child's viewing, and to control his or her access
accordingly. |

What is Content Advisor?
The Internet provides us with
unprecedented access to a wide variety of information. Some information,
however, may not be suited for every viewer. For example, you might want
to prevent your children from seeing information with violent or sexual
content.
With Content Advisor, Internet
Explorer provides a way to help you control the types of content that
your computer can access on the Internet. After you turn on Content
Advisor, only rated content that meets or exceeds your criteria can be
displayed. You can adjust the settings.
Specifically, Content Advisor allows
you to:
 | Control access to Content Advisor settings. You
turn Content Advisor on, and view the settings, by setting up a
password.*
You will need this password to change any Content Advisor settings,
so you might want to write down your password for
future reference.
|
 | View and adjust the ratings settings to reflect
what you think is appropriate content in each of four areas:
language, nudity,
sex, and violence.
|
 | Adjust what types of content other people can
view with or without your permission. You can override content
settings on a
case-by-case basis.
|
 | View and change the ratings systems and bureaus
you use. |
Content Advisor is set to the most
conservative (least likely to offend) settings when you first enable it.
You can adjust these settings to match your own preferences.
Not all Internet content is rated. If
you choose to allow other people to view unrated sites on your computer,
some of those sites could contain inappropriate material.
*CAUTION:
If you activate the Content Advisor and set a password, you will not
be able to deactivate the Content Advisor without that password.
If you forget the password, not even completely reinstalling
Internet Explorer will allow you to access anything on the internet that
exceeds the rating levels you have set.

Freedom
of speech is an extremely important right of all citizens. However,
all citizens also have a right to live without being molested
verbally, visually, emotionally or physically. While some proponents
of absolute and total freedom of speech place that right above
seemingly all other citizen rights, we are not here to make judgment
on that opinion. In fact, we understand the reasons why many feel so
strongly about freedom of speech in light of abuses by many past and
present governments. The purpose of the Family Friendly Sites
Program is simply to offer a clear indication via FFS emblems of
places on the Internet that voluntarily abide by established
guidelines of conduct. The Family-Friendly Sites emblems are
trademarks of VXR Corporation and may only be displayed on sites
that meet the currently published guidelines. |

people who can't stand the thought of our business's being abused
and deteriorated by ignorant people who don't know the difference
between right and wrong. We have combined our efforts with local,
state, federal and international governments to put a halt to the
exploitation of children around the world. |
