Hands-on: Microsoft launches child-friendly IE8
Permalink   

A major European campaign, Safer Internet Day (SID), kicked off today, with the intent of teaching children aged five and up the importance of protecting their online identity and not talking to strangers. Microsoft's Internet Explorer team, in association with the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP), took the opportunity to launch a new version of IE8 that makes it easy for youngsters to find information about staying safe online.

The family-friendly version of the browser gives the user one-click access to reporting tools that allow them to flag inappropriate websites to the authorities, and seek help and advice on how to cope with cyberbullying or unwanted online attention. Help tools include advice on what to do about viruses, as well as tackling hacking and problems with mobile browsers.

If you're interested in trying it out yourself, it's available for download. Those who do not want the whole browser because they already have IE8 installed can simply grab one or more of the following CEOP tools for IE8: Add the 'Click CEOP' button to your toolbar, Add CEOP Search to your toolbar, and Add Internet Safety and Security Search to your toolbar.
