Using Content Advisor to control access

Using Content Advisor to control access
The Internet provides unprecedented access to a wide variety of information. Some information, however, may not be suitable for every viewer. For example, you might want to prevent your children from seeing Web sites that contain violent or sexual content.
Content Advisor provides a way to help you control the types of content that your computer can gain access to on the Internet. After you turn on Content Advisor, only rated content that meets or exceeds your criteria can be viewed. You can adjust the settings.
With Content Advisor, you can:
Control access to Content Advisor settings. You turn Content Advisor on, and view the settings, through the use of a password. You will need this password to change any Content Advisor settings, so you might want to write it down 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.
Set up a list of Web sites that other people can never view, regardless of how the sites’ contents are rated.
Set up a list of Web sites that other people can always view, regardless of how the sites’ contents are rated.
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 turn it on. 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.
