"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews, today I'm going to show you how to protect Internet Explorer. To begin lets open up our Internet Explorer browser by clicking on the start button at the bottom and just selecting internet. What we're going to do is put a password on this so that in order to open the browser you have to first type in a password. Lets go to tools and select internet options and in the internet options screen that comes up you want to select the content tab. Under content adviser select enable. Now what it's going to do is ask you to create a supervisor password. What you have to do is type in the password that you want to be required in order for Internet Explorer to work, click on ok. If you don't enter a hint into this field it's going to tell you to strongly recommend, it's strongly recommended that you enter a hint, but we don't want to hint to anybody what our password is so I'm just going to say no. This has turned on the content adviser system, press ok, press ok again. Now lets close Internet Explorer and open it back up. As you can see the content adviser did not allow me to view this website. My name is Dave Andrews and I've just showed you how to protect Internet Explorer."
