Welcome to the Internet

The Internet is a collection of computer networks that connects millions of computers around the world. Microsoft Internet Explorer enables you to connect to the Internet to gain access to the vast stores of information on these computers. You can do it all quickly, easily, and safely from your desktop. Whether you’re searching for information or having it delivered to your computer, take a look at some of the features that make surfing the Internet easy and fun.

Return to frequently visited sites quickly

Whenever you find an interesting Web site, it’s easy to mark it so that you can quickly return to it. Just add it to your list of favorites. Any time you want to view one of your favorite Web sites, it’s just a click away.

Automatically update your favorite Web sites

Subscribe to your favorite sites so that the content is automatically updated whenever you want—hourly, daily, or weekly.

Display only the content you specify as suitable

Screen out objectionable or offensive content by using industry-standard ratings defined independently by the Platform for Internet Content Selection (PICS) committee.

Protect yourself and your computer

Use Internet Explorer security features to protect your computer from potentially unsafe files and programs and to restrict access to files and information on your computer.
