With Content Advisor (a feature of Internet Explorer), you can: Set up a password. Control Internet access. Set up a list of Web sites that people who use your computer cannot view. Adjust the type of content people can view with and without your permission. Once you set up restricted rating levels in Content Advisor, users can view Web sites and other pages that you have specified under the rating setup. However, to view unrated Web sites or pages, they must enter the Content Advisor password that you have set. This means that any unrated page, even Help and Support or Internet Explorer, is not viewable if the user does not know the password. To allow access to an unrated site or page you approve of, open it and, when the password window appears, select the always allow viewing or allow viewing only this time option.
