Internet Predator Tracker

We will start off by opening up Internet Explorer.

Now let’s go to the “tools” option at the top right. Once you click tools a drop down menu will pop up navigate to the “Internet Options” option, as shown in the picture below.

Once you have clicked internet options navigate to the tab labeled “Content”, and then click the “Enable” button under Content Advisor.

Once you do this there will be a pop up for the Content Advisor. Let’s start off by going tab by tab at the top. The first one is ratings. As you see we can select and edit each category (yes, there are a lot of options to customize). If you want to go the easy route use the pre-configured settings by adjusting the bar under the “Select a category to view” section in the ratings tab. To let you know what each one does there is also a “Description” section on the bottom as shown in the picture below.

Once you’re done configuring the ratings area click the “approved Sites” in the next tab to the right. This section should be relatively self-explanatory. You can set sites to automatically allow (warning: this will not restrict any content from being viewed on said page). If you have problems with certain pages being viewed you can add them in to the disapproved section as well.

The “general” tab is the next tab to the right. This section is one of the more important ones. We can set a password here so that your children cannot disable the options that we set. Under the “Supervisor Settings” click “create password”.

Lastly you can import preset rules. Due to the fact that there is a great deal of them available for you and everyone may have different preferences I will not be outlining how to do this. Refer to hear to learn more: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-PICSRules/

Once you have finished all of the above mentioned steps, click on the bottom right of the “Internet Options” box. Once you do this there will be a pop up telling you that the content advisor has been enabled like so:

Now exit Internet Explorer, and reopen it, if you have followed the above steps correctly you will see the following:

Simply enter in the password that you had entered before and you will be allowed access. Now let’s set up the Parental Controls. You will need to navigate back to the “Internet options” box via the tools options on Internet Explorer.

Now this time instead of going to the content advisor section go to the Parental Controls section, like so:

Once you click this you will be shown all user accounts. Click on your child’s account, in this situation “Aviator753”

Once you click that account, you will be presented with the account details. As you can see parental controls are not enabled.

In order to enable them all we have to do is check the “on” box once this is done you will be able to specify time limits, games they are able to play by ratting content or title, and the programs that they are allowed to use on their account.

It should also say that Parental Controls are now on in the account that you enabled them on. If it does not then go back and repeat the steps.
