How to Enable Internet Add Ons
Add-ons allow users to customize their Internet browser. Some add-ons are added to your Internet browser with your permission, others are downloaded and added to your web browser without your permission. Add-ons can be downloaded without your awareness when you download software to your system. A simple procedure on Internet Explorer allows you to take more control of your web browser and manage your add-ons.
