• Search Filter prevents search information that you request at one Web site
from being passed along to the next site you visit. Without Search Filter,

site to another without your knowledge.
Security threats
• Gatekeeper lets you control the programs that have access to your Internet
connection. Programs on your PC can be programmed to access to the
Internet without your consent.

you can install the latest Netscape or Internet Explorer version. Older
Netscape or Internet Explorer software installed on your PC may have
security flaws.

opened, renamed, copied, moved, or deleted. Programs, such as ActiveX
and Java programs, can scan your PC for personal information or delete
files without your permission.
File Guardian also limits access to protected files either to programs you
specify or through file encryption. It can limit the programs that can access
your tax, on-line banking, or personal accounting data files.
• Password Manager stores your Web site login names and passwords for
protected Web sites in one secure location. When you are visiting a site that
requires this information, drag it from Browser Buddy to the form
displayed in your browser. No more storing your login names and
passwords in an unsecure location, such as on a sticky note on your
monitor or in a text file on your Windows desktop.
Virus threats

during your DOS startup. It also watches for viruses while you work with
program, document, and e-mail attachment files.
