Sending and Receiving E-Mail

Restricting Internet content

The Internet provides you with a wide variety of information, but some information may
not be suitable for every viewer. 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.
To enable Content Advisor:
1 Click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar.
2 Click All Programs.
3 Click Internet Explorer.
4 Click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
5 Click the Content tab.
6 In the Content Advisor area, click Enable.
7 Click the General tab, click Create Password, and type a password.
8 Click OK, and then click OK again.
E-mail enables you to send and receive letters, pictures, postcards, and even music and
video clips.
NOTE: E-mail may contain a virus in the message itself or as an attachment. To protect
your computer, do not open any message that originates from an unfamiliar source or that
appears suspect to you. Instead, delete such messages.
Your computer comes with an e-mail program from Microsoft called Windows Mail (select
models only). You may also use e-mail programs from other vendors. Some ISPs provide
their own e-mail programs. You use an e-mail program to send, receive, and organize your
messages. You can organize, read, and create new messages even when you are offline
(not connected to the Internet).
