Hello There!

You know Windows Internet Explorer 8 or IE8  has lots of Features and one of the most useful are the ones related to Security!

Maybe The first thing you will notice when you start using IE8 is the Domain name Highlighting in the address bar, so let’s say you clicked a link that was supposed to send you to a certain website, but instead that this link sent you to a different website, with the Address Highlighting you will Notice it first :o)

InPrivate Browsing - more privacy options when browsing

IE’s Delete Browsing History can help protect your privacy after the fact – if you remember to use the feature. But what if you know you want to browse privately in advance?

Let’s say I’m trying to buy a bicycle for someone special. When I activate InPrivate Browsing, Internet Explorer 8 starts a new browser window. With InPrivate Browsing I can research, compare prices, and even order the gift. My browsing history, cookies and any cached files are forgotten once I close the window. I don’t have to worry about my browsing history ruining the surprise.

Now Starting an inprivate browsing session is very easy, you just click on Safety and then Inprivate Browsing

and you will notice that the address bar will have “InPrivate” next to it

And what happen in the InPrivate Mode… Stays in the InPrivate Mode

And by the way, if you’re a parent, Parental Controls trumps this setting so you can still view history. It’s all about putting you in control.

And one Final Thing, with Internet Explorer 8 SmartScreen Filtering you can now be notified if there’s a security threat when you are downloading a file or accessing a “Fishy” website

Cheers,

SC
