Provide protection for IE and Firefox browsers to prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.

1) Protection Status: You can view the general protection status of your web browser(s) in this page. You can choose to enable or disable them.

2) IE Protection

    1, Website Protection: Here we list some potentially dangerous websites in Internet Explorer. You can choose to block some or all websites here.

    2, ActiveX Protection: Here we list some ActiveX-based spyware, adware, and more potentially unwanted components. You can choose to block some or all items here.

    ActiveX: ActiveX is a set of technologies from Microsoft that enables sharing information among different applications. Unfortunately, lax default ActiveX security settings in Internet Explorer can allow any webpage to secretly install ActiveX controls automatically. Since these ActiveX controls can do almost anything (including installing software, such as spyware or other potentially unwanted software), many consider them a significant security threat. ActiveX Protection prevents WebPages from installing spyware or other potentially unwanted ActiveX components.

    3, Cookie Protection: Block the cookies that may be used to track your activities, build a profile about your habits, collect information, or uniquely identify you to advertisers.

3) Firefox Protection
If you do not have firefox installed, this protection offers no benefit and will be unavailable.

Here we provide one main option: Block the cookies that may be used to track your activities, build a profile about your habits, collect information, or uniquely identify you to advertisers.
