150 McAfee Internet Security Enabling age appropriate searching Some popular search engines (like Yahoo! and Google) offer "safe searching"-a search setting that prevents potentially inappropriate search results from appearing in their result lists. These search engines usually let you choose how restrictive you want safe search filtering to be, but also let you or any other user turn it off at any time. In Parental Controls, age-appropriate searching is a convenient way to make sure that "safe searching" is always turned on for a user when using one of the following search engines: ƒ Google™ ƒ MSN® ƒ Windows® Live Search ƒ Yahoo!® If you enable age-appropriate searching, we'll make sure that the search engine's safe search filtering is turned on for that user and set to its most restrictive setting-and if a user tries to turn it off (in the search engine's preferences or advanced settings), we'll automatically turn it on again. By default, age-appropriate searching is enabled for all users except administrators and those in the Adult age group. For more information about setting a user's age group, see Setting the content rating group (page 153). Enable age-appropriate searching By default, new users are added to the Adult group and age appropriate searching is disabled. If you want to make sure that the safe searching filtering offered by some popular search engines is turned on for an Adult user, you can enable age appropriate searching. 1 Open the Users Settings pane.

McAfee Internet Security
Enabling age appropriate searching
Some popular search engines (like Yahoo! and Google) offer "safe
searching"—a search setting that prevents potentially
inappropriate search results from appearing in their result lists.
These search engines usually let you choose how restrictive you
want safe search filtering to be, but also let you or any other user
turn it off at any time.
In Parental Controls, age-appropriate searching is a convenient
way to make sure that "safe searching" is always turned on for a
user when using one of the following search engines:
Google™
MSN®
Windows® Live Search
Yahoo!®
If you enable age-appropriate searching, we'll make sure that the
search engine's safe search filtering is turned on for that user and
set to its most restrictive setting—and if a user tries to turn it off
(in the search engine's preferences or advanced settings), we'll
automatically turn it on again.
By default, age-appropriate searching is enabled for all users
except administrators and those in the Adult age group. For more
information about setting a user's age group, see
Setting the
content rating group
(page 153).
Enable age-appropriate searching
By default, new users are added to the Adult group and age
appropriate searching is disabled. If you want to make sure that
the safe searching filtering offered by some popular search
engines is turned on for an Adult user, you can enable age
appropriate searching.
