Microsoft and CEOP team up for Safer Internet Day 2012

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) have partnered with Microsoft to provide internet safety advice at your fingertips.

Windows Internet Explorer 9 has been specially customised to provide children with instant access to CEOP's one stop shop for Internet safety, so children can learn how to protect themselves online.

This work follows on from the work Microsoft and CEOP previously poured into the Internet Explorer 8 CEOP browser back in 2010. The upgraded browser is available to download now - Internet Explorer 9 customised for CEOP

If you're a concerned parent or just want a safe browsing experience for your children, take a quick look at the features below and see how CEOP is helping to protect your safety online.

What's included?

The customised version of Internet Explorer 9 comes with the same robust security safeguards as before and incorporates the following new additions:

Search suggestions from internet safety sites

Search for safety information directly from your browser's search bar - delve through the resources on CEOP's own website, or browse the internet safety information from their trusted partners.

Favourites

The browser's Favourites Bar is already set up with links to the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre website, the thinkuknow website and other relevant safety information.

Jump Lists

Jump Lists are exclusive to Windows 7 users and enable one-click access to desiginated websites. This customised version of Internet Explorer 9 contains two.

The thinkuknow Jump List breaks down the relevant advice for children by age group so children can learn how to protect themselves online.

The CEOP Jump List provides parents with one-click access to valuable information such as how they can use existing computer software settings to control their children's internet usage.

Safety Centre

Use the Safety Centre to make a CEOP report, or find out information on bullying, viruses, hacking, online security, or inappropriate online content such as sexual images.
