Child Safety Features for Internet Explorer 8

My thanks are due to a MicroMart Magazine article (Issue 1094, 18-24 Feberuary 2010) entitled "The Panic Button".

Microsoft have created a panic button so that, when youngsters are on-line and feel they are getting harassed in any way, they can seek immediate advice and help.

The button has been introduced in conjunction with the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP), and further information and downloads are available from the CEOP website:

It's another way of enabling youngsters to use the web safely, and for their parents/carers to feel they are doing their bit to protect and educate vulnerable web users.
