[h=4]Adding and Accessing Web Slices
Not all web pages have a web slice, so the easiest way to search for and add web slices is in the Internet Explorer Add-ons Gallery.


Click the Get More Add-ons button and select Internet Explorer Add-ons Gallery.

Select the Web Slices link from the Add-ons Gallery menu choices on the left.

Explore the Web Slices. If you see one you like, click on Add to Internet Explorer and it will be placed in your Favorites Bar.


If you are browsing a page that does have a web slice, the RSS button will change to the

green Web Slice button. Additionally, you can sometimes access the Web Slice button

directly on the page as seen in the image below. Whenever you see the green button, simply

click it to add the web slice to your Favorites Bar


When a web page is updated the web slice's name appears in bold making it easy to

know when there is new content. You can click on the web slice to see a quick view

of the updated information. If you desire to see more then click on the links to open the page

[h=3]Internet Safety

More and more we are able to use the Internet for our everyday tasks, making it

a wonderfully convenient tool. However, with this increased use comes an increase

in online crime. Unfortunately, cybercriminals are also increasing their use of

Malware, Phishing and Click-jacking to deceive you, harm your computer, or both. This does

not mean using the Internet is dangerous, just that you need to be aware of how to best protect yourself when browsing


Internet Explorer 8 uses several tools to maintain security and privacy. We

will be looking at the SmartScreen ******, Security Report and InPrivate ******ing

in this lesson

[h=4]SmartScreen ******

Internet Explorer 8 uses the SmartScreen ****** to detect and block malicious

content and websites. When the SmartScreen detects malicious content, the

Address Bar and page will become highlighted in red and you will receive a

warning message reporting that the site is unsafe. It will also provide you with

the red warning when it detects malicious downloads that have been reported as unsafe


The SmartScreen ****** also allows you to individually check a website or report an unsafe website.


Click on the Safety button in the Command toolbar and select SmartScreen ****** and choose an option.

If you are making online transactions then you will want to make sure you are

using a site with a secure connection. The Lock icon will appear in the Address Bar to indicate a site's Security Status



You can click on the Lock to access and check the site's Security Report and view its certification.


There are four color levels of certificate validation that may be highlighted in the Address Bar:

• Red: invalid certificate

[h=3]Privacy Features


[h=4]InPrivate ******ing

Today's content provider websites are increasingly using tools to track the browsing

activities of users across multiple websites. This tracking can provide useful information

to third-party sites. However, you may not want certain content providers gathering

information about your browsing activity. Internet Explorer 8 offers InPrivate ******ing to

give users more choice and control about how third-party sites can track your browsing


InPrivate ******ing automatically analyzes the websites you visit and identifies

which are collecting information about your browsing activity. You can choose

to turn on InPrivate ******ing to block third-party websites from tracking

your activity, but you will need to do so on a per-session basis


To use, click on the Safety command and select InPrivate ******ing.


You can also block content directly from an individual page by

clicking on the InPrivate ******ing drop-down button in the Status Bar





Third-party tracking is complicated and there are many

exceptions to how effectively InPrivate ******ing can work to

block these actions. To understand this better, click on the Safety command, select

InPrivate ******ing Settings and then click the link for Learn more about InPrivate ******ing. From

here, you can also check activity and block specific sites

Internet Explorer 8 has an entire menu of Internet Options that allow you to

customize features and adjust settings. It is probably a good idea for you

that are available. Most users are satisfied with Internet Explorer's default settings, but

there may be times when you need to make an adjustment or address an issue


We have covered a few of these options already and will present

a few more you should be familiar with on the upcoming pages

[h=4]Ratings

In the Content Provider, Internet Explorer 8 allows you to control content through

the ICRA (Internet Content Ratings Assoc.) ratings system provided by

the Family Online Safety Institute. If you have children you may want to explore

this feature. You will need to create a password if you choose to add ratings. This password

is the only way that you can access pages that are blocked by the ******


Click on the Ratings tab in the Content Advisor window and adjust the settings if desired.


There is not a lot of information available about how effective the ratings ****** is. It should

be noted that websites that participate rate their own content

actually want your passwords saved by AutoComplete
