Browser Settings

A computer needs a program called a web browser in order to view Internet pages. Your computer probably came pre-loaded with a web browser that you are now using to view this page. It is possible to install more than one web browser program onto your computer and as they are all ‘free’ some people like to have a choice.

Computers with Windows bought before February 2010 would have Internet Explorer set as the browser. If you bought it after February 2010, when you you would have been ask if you wanted to change your browser .  If you have an Apple Macintosh computer you’re likely to have a browser called Safari as your built-in option.

Some of the common web browsers are:

• Firefox, from Mozilla - a free download which is good for people who want a lot of specialist ‘plug-ins’. Various people have reported Firefox as being faster to run than other browsers.
• Google Chrome - like the search engine its owner makes, this one sells itself on simplicity and speed of loading.
• Safari - the Apple Mac browser, also available on the PC for download.
• Opera - another browser, available for free and is often used by web designers.
•

What is active content and why does Internet Explorer restrict it?

Active content is interactive or animated content used on websites. It includes ActiveX controls and web browser add-ons, which are small programs that are used extensively on the Internet. Active content can make web browsing more enjoyable by providing toolbars, stock tickers, video, animated content, and more.

Why does Internet Explorer restrict active content?

Internet Explorer restricts this content because occasionally these programs can malfunction or give you content you don't want. In some cases, these programs can be used to collect information about you, damage information on your computer, install software without your consent, or allow someone else to control your computer remotely. Given these risks, you should allow active content only if you completely trust the publisher or the website it's coming from.

How can I allow active content?

If Internet Explorer restricts active content that you are sure you want to allow, click the gold Information bar that appears at the top of the webpage, and then click Allow blocked content.

What is the Internet Explorer Information bar?

The Information bar is the place where Internet Explorer displays information about security, downloads, blocked pop-up windows, and other activities. It is usually located at the top of the webpage.

When will I see the Information bar?

• If Internet Explorer is still using its original settings, you'll see the Information bar in the following circumstances:
• If a website tries to install an ActiveX control on your computer or run an ActiveX control in an unsafe manner.
• If a website tries to open a pop-up window.
• If a website tries to download a file to your computer.
• If a website tries to run active content on your computer.
• If your security settings are below recommended levels.
• If you access an intranet webpage, but have not turned on intranet address checking.
• If you started Internet Explorer with add-ons disabled.
• If you need to install an updated ActiveX control or add-on program.
• If the webpage address can be displayed with native language letters or symbols but you don't have the language installed.
• If your security settings won't allow a specific protocol.
• If Internet Explorer has prevented a cross-scripting attack.
