While the Internet is a wonderful place to shop, watch videos, find information and more, it is also a dangerous place where children can be exposed to adult material dealing with pornography, guns, drugs or alcohol. To protect children, Internet Explorer has a built-in parental control that allows you to regulate what your children can access on the Internet. It is easy to turn on and configure.
