From: katlaughing I go to Tools, Internet Options, Content, Disable, Okay and that gets rid of the stupid content advisor for a while. Then, seemingly randomly, the damn thing activates and tells me it cannot access google, etc. So I wind up doing the whole thing over. Not a major problem, but do any of you know how to get rid of it permanently? Can I remove it from my hard drive without mucking up all of the other M$junk? Thanks! |

You mean in Internet Sorry, I have no solution that does not involve using a different browser.. (Seems like M$ wants it THEIR way, huh?) |

From: Bill D just opened IE for maybe the 3rd time this year and looked...maybe it's connected with the slider on the 'security' tab? Mine is not 'enabled', but then I don't use it enough to see if that ever happens to me. There's a bunch of boxes to check in the 'advanced' tab, but I don't see any that would affect it.... |

From: Bill D hey...if you have set your Google preferences to censor content, maybe will IE monitor that and try to set it's to match? All the main search engines have a thing to try to provide 'family' content to those who want it...*shrug*...just an idea. |
