Often when you surf into a site, using a search engine, you initially go to a page that is not the home page. If you see a button (or text) on a site displaying the word Home, then clicking on this will take you to the starting page, i.e. the Home Page Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

9 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 9 It is confusing because Microsoft defines the "Home Page" for your browser (i.e. Internet Explorer) as the page that by default is displayed when you start the browser program. Setting a home (i.e. opening) page Double click on the Internet Explorer icon displayed on your Desktop to start the Internet Explorer program. Click on the Tools drop down menu and from the list displayed click on the Internet Options command. The Internet Options dialog box is displayed.

TIP: Another way to do this is to depress the Shift key while clicking on a hyperlink. However this may not always work, it depends on what version of Internet Explorer you are using. Try using these techniques on some of the hyperlinks on the web page you are viewing. You should see that when you use these techniques multiple copies of the Internet Explorer start opening up. You can see the icons for each copy in the Taskbar along the bottom of your screen. Before continuing close all copies of the Internet Explorer program. Forcing a Web page to display within a new tab Sometimes you may want to open the page that the hyperlink links to, within a new tab (i.e. a new tab within the existing copy of the Internet Explorer). To do this right click on a hyperlink and from the pop-up menu displayed, click on the Open in New Tab command Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

Before the loading is complete, click on the Stop icon to stop the download. What is web page refreshing? Many web pages change their content rapidly. However your web browser will normally download the page once and display the information and not then go back to see if the page has changed. Refreshing the web page forces the web browser to see if there is an updated version of the page. Many web browsers will cache pages that you have visited. This means that the web browser will store a copy of visited web pages on your hard disk. The reason for this is that if you wish to revisit that page again then the page can be quickly loaded from your hard disk rather than having to be slowly downloaded to your computer via the net. Clicking on the Refresh icon, forces the web browser to check for a later version of the page via the Internet and to download it. Refreshing a page download Click on the Refresh icon.

22 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 22 Navigating through Web Pages Navigating through Web sites Normally when you first view a Web site you see what is called the Home Page for that Web site. The Home Page is the starting page for a Web site and you use hyperlinks within that page to visit other pages within the Web site. See if you can see a link called Home Page on the pages you visited within the Microsoft Web site. Not all Web pages will have this link, but most well designed Web pages will have some sort of link to allow you to quickly jump back to the home page. Going directly to a Web page Enter the web address for the Microsoft web site into the URL Address bar at the top of the Microsoft Internet Explorer program and then press the ENTER key. The URL is You should find that the page is displayed. Activating an Internet link As you move the mouse pointer over a Web page displayed within your web browser, occasionally you will notice that the mouse pointer shape changes to the shape of a hand (pointing upwards). The pointer changes to indicate a hyperlink. Some hyperlinks are text based, while others are embedded within pictures. On well designed web sites, you will see a pop-up displayed if you leave the mouse pointer over an image that contains a hyperlink. An example of a hyperlink pop-up is illustrated below. Click on a hyperlink graphic and the page you are viewing will be replaced by the page that the link points to Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

23 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 23 Experiment with clicking on text based hyperlinks. Remember: Text based links are often (but not always) underlined and displayed in blue text. Using the Back and Forward button A quick way to go back to the last Web page you visited is to use the Internet Explorer Back button. On badly designed sites this may be the only way to escape from the page you are viewing. Experiment with using the Forward and Back buttons. Visiting the Home Page To visit the Internet Explorer Home Page, click on the Home icon within the toolbar, as illustrated. TIP: The keyboard shortcut to display the Home Page is Alt+M Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

24 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 24 Searching the Web Search Engine Web sites You can display a search engine Web site directly using any of the Web addresses listed below. Google - MSN Search - Ask Jeeves - Yahoo - AOL Search - TIP: A good site that lists many more search engines is called Search Engine Watch. Have a quick look at this site and see what other search engines are available. Using keywords and phrases Many people think that when you use a search engine, such as Google, it will magically search the entire Web and find the information that you require. The first thing to understand is that a search engine like Google will only search through a list that it maintains of sites that have been registered with that particular search engine. This accounts in part for the widely differing results you sometimes get when you search using different search engines. Also each search engine has different criteria for ranking search results, i.e. the order in which search results are displayed on your page. These search results are often displayed 10 per page, with a brief description about each site that it has found matching your requirements. In general it is better to use two or more words, or a short phrase when searching. Don't use a single search word! Normally you should use two (or more) words or a short phrase rather than a single word when using a search engine. Try to use unique words that directly relate to what you are searching for. For instance if you are searching for information about film reviews then search for film reviews, not just reviews which would include all sorts of reviews. Searching using specific words If you search using two words such as film reviews, then often a search engine will go off and find all the pages that it knows about relating to film, reviews and film reviews. This could include all types of reviews, not just film reviews Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

25 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 25 To get round this problem many search engines allow you to insert a + symbol between your words, this means that you only want to find pages containing all your words. Searching using an exact phrase Sometimes you would be better enclosing your search phrase with quotation (") symbols. This will then mean that you want to find the exact phrase that you have entered. Thus if you search for "film reviews, using the quotation marks, then you should see more relevant search results. NOTE: Search engine options will vary from one search engine to another. Always use the on-line Help available! Searching by excluding a word(s) Some search engines will let you search for certain words, while excluding other words from the search. To try this in Google, first type in the Internet Explorer Address Bar to display the Google search engine. You will see the following. Click on the Advanced Search link and you will see the following (remember that the Internet is constantly evolving so what you see might not be exactly like the illustration below) Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

26 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 26 In the example illustrated lets say we wanted to find information about viruses but wanted to exclude the word computer from our search. We would type in the following. Clicking on the Google Search button will then display the search result as required Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

27 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 27 If you look carefully at the search page that is displayed you will see that the syntax for excluding a word is displayed, as illustrated below. I.e. in this case virus computer Searching by date Type in the Internet Explorer Address Bar to display the Google search engine. You will see the following Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

28 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 28 Click on the Advanced Search link. Within the with all these words section we can type in our search phrase, such as computer viruses.

30 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 30 Searching by file format Type in the Internet Explorer Address Bar to display the Google search engine. You will see the following. Click on the Advanced Search link. Within the with all these words section we can type in a search phrase, such as computer viruses. As you can see there is a File Type option, as illustrated. Clicking on the drop down arrow within the File Type section allows you to search for information in a range of different formats, such as Adobe Acrobat PDF, Microsoft Word and Rich Text Format (RTF) Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

31 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 31 In the example shown we have selected only documents in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. TIP: If you are trying this after experimenting with the previous section make sure to remove any restrictions from within the Date section. Your search results will look something like the illustration below. As you can see only Adobe Acrobat PDF documents have been listed Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

32 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 32 NOTE: PDF formatted documents are documents that have been specially formatted to be read by the freely available Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader program. You can download this free reader program from the Adobe web site at: The advantage of using Adobe Acrobat formatted files, rather than say Microsoft Word formatted files, is that they normally have a very small file size making them much quicker to view or download via the Internet.

36 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 36 Favorites What is a favorite (bookmark)? You can use your browser to create favorites (bookmarks) of interesting Web pages that you have found.

52 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 52 Feeds What are feeds? Feeds let you view Web page content and have it update automatically for you.

The Internet relates to all the hardware and software involved and as well as including the WWW, also includes FTP (File Transfer Protocol more about this later), and newsgroups. The WWW is basically the text and pictures that you can view using your web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. Web Address or URL (Uniform Resource Locator). A typical web address will look like this: A web address normally starts with or This is the name of the communication protocol that your web browser should use to connect to the web site. The protocol name is followed by the domain name. In this case the domain name is this tells your web browser the name of the web server it should connect to in order to access the required web site. After the domain name comes the file path, in this example the file path is /intl/en/. This means that the web page we wish to view is contained within a folder called en, which in turn is contained within a folder called intl. The file path is an optional part of a web address. Finally there is the web page name, in the case privacy.html. The web page name is an optional part of a web address, if no page name is specified your web browser will display the default page for the folder. Hyperlink A hyperlink is an item of text (or a graphic) on a Web page, that when clicked on will automatically: - Take you to a different part of the same page - Take you to a different page within the Web site - Take you to a page in a different Web site - Enable you to download a File - Launch an application, video or sound 2010 Cheltenham Courseware Pty.

ISP (Internet Service Provider) If you want to connect to the Internet, you need to subscribe via an Internet Service Provider. The ISP gives you a connection to the Internet either via your telephone line or via a special digital high speed line. An example of a popular ISP is AOL (America On-Line). Web sites and URLs A Web site is simply data that is stored on a WWW server and that can be freely accessed by people 'surfing the Net'. For instance Microsoft have their own Web site, from which you can download information and software. The trouble is that you need to know the address of the Web site; in much the same way as if you want to phone someone you have to know his or her phone number. The address of a Web site is given by something called its URL (Uniform Resource Locator). The structure of the URL is very precise. For instance, if you wish to use your Web browser to visit the Microsoft Web site you would have to use the URL: Thus if you wish to visit the Web site of the company that produced this training material you would use the URL: Due to the very large number of organizations who now have Web sites, you can also use a search engine, in which you can enter a word or phrase connected with what you wish to find and it will then display sites that match the information that you have entered. The results can be overwhelming however. A recent search using the search words "PC courseware" displayed a list of a million sites containing these words! What is a web browser? Web browsing applications include Internet Explorer (from Microsoft) Chrome from Google, Firefox and also Safari (from Apple). In each case there are many different versions, and you will find that the later versions offer much more versatility, as well as a better range of built-in features. The web browser allows you to view web pages. What is a search engine? A search engine holds information about pages on web sites throughout the Internet. It only has information about web sites that have been reported to it, or ones that it 2010 Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

73 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 73 has found out about automatically. It is important to realize that a search engine does not have complete information about all web sites on the Internet! There are a number of different search engines, run by different organizations. Within a search engine you can enter a search phrase, such as cheap holidays, and the search engine will then search through its database and after a short pause, should display a list of sites that fit your search parameters. In this example we have used the Google Search engine and entered the phrase holidays in Australia.

74 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 74 Clicking on any of the items found, would take you to that organization s web site. Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a method used to publish information that needs to be frequently updated, such as news headlines, tickertapes or podcasts. A RSS document is called a "feed" or "channel". You need software called an RSS reader to read and update RSS content. You can then subscribe to a feed using the RSS reader. The RSS reader regularly checks for updated content and then displays the new content. Most good news websites will have the option of an RSS feed. In many cases to subscribe, you need only click on a button within the site. Once you subscribe the content will update automatically without the need to keep pressing the Refresh button Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

75 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 75 Try visiting news web sites and see if you can subscribe to their RSS service. To help you a few news sites are listed below: Podcasts A podcast is a way of providing content such as radio programs in a form that can be easily downloaded and listened to later, on a the PC or mobile devices such as an Apple ipod. The term "podcast" is a combination of the words "ipod" and "broadcast". Many web sites allow you to manually download content. The thing that makes a podcast different is that once you subscribe to a podcast it will be downloaded automatically for you. The illustration below shows a typical page allowing you to subscribe to a podcast Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

76 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 76 Security Issues Internet security & password logons When your Internet connection is set up for you there is normally a logon ID and a password issued to you. You should keep these details private and secure. Many PCs will remember these details for you and log you in and issue the correct password automatically. If you connect to a different network you may need to enter different details. Risks associated with online activity As well as all the benefits there are dangers linked to online activity. Unintentional disclosure of personal information: Many web sites ask you to register in order to access all the features of the site. Often registration can require you to provide details about yourself such as name, date of birth, address or telephone number. Before you hand over your details consider if the web site is reputable? Do they publish a privacy policy? Can they be trusted to store your details in a secure manor, safe from hackers? Bullying or harassment: Bullies have started to exploit the Internet allowing them to continue harassing their victims. Often they send abusive or threatening s, more technically able bullies will also produce web sites to circulate vicious rumors. Targeting of users by predators: The internet can allow everyone a certain level of anonymity, unfortunately there are people that abuse this, pretending to be someone they are not in order to gain your trust. Never reveal details about yourself in chat rooms. Never arrange to meet someone you have met through the Internet. Parental control options Many parents are worried about what their kids get up to when on the web. Some issues to consider are: Supervision: Set-up the computer in a family room. This will enable you to watch and participate in your child s Internet activities Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

77 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 77 Web browsing restrictions: There are many software products on the market that will block access to web sites that you consider inappropriate. Try searching for cyber patrol or net nanny for details. Internet Explorer includes some basic parental control options that are covered later in this course. Computer games restrictions: Computer games are now age rated in much the same way as films. This can help you decide if a particular game is appropriate. The latest generation of games consoles incorporate parental control options allowing you to prevent the play of games intended for an adult audience. Computer usage time limits: Set limits for the length of time spent using the computer. Excessive amounts of time spent online may indicate a problem. Viruses Surfing the Internet can provide you with an incredible source of information. There are however dangers! If you download anything from the Web (even a document file), there is the possibility that the downloaded item may have been infected with a computer virus. Virus checkers To give yourself some protection against virus attack, you should have a virus checker installed (such as Norton Anti-Virus, or McAfee). If an item that you download from the Internet is infected the virus checker program will detect it immediately. The other important point to remember is to update your virus checker on a regular basis, so that it knows about more recent viruses. Many anti-virus programs have an auto-update feature that allows them to update themselves automatically as required. You can also run a manual update as illustrated below for the McAfee anti-virus program Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd.

78 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 78 Malware The word Malware is a combination of the words "malicious" and "software". Malware is software designed to install itself and run without your consent and without your knowledge. Sometimes when you download free programs from an internet site, they come bundled with hidden programs that you did not ask for and will not want. Often these hidden programs send back marketing information to companies. Sometimes they may have more sinister purposes, such as sending your credit card details to criminals intending to steal from you. When installing free programs you find on the net always read the licensing terms, as often the malware content is hidden away within this long document. Spyware This is different from a virus. Details such as your online browsing habits can be sent, without your knowledge, to marketing companies, or even criminal organizations that will try to get information such as your credit card details or access passwords Cheltenham Courseware Pty.

79 Internet Explorer 8 Basics Page 79 Worms A computer worm is a self-replicating computer program that sends copies of itself to other computers via a network. It can copy itself from computer to computer without your knowledge. It is different from a virus because it has no need to hide itself within another program. Many worms can reduce your available bandwidth due to their copying activities, but otherwise do not actually damage your files. However there are also destructive worms that will attack or compromise your data. Trojans A Trojan horse (often just called a Trojan ) is a type of software that you normally expect to do one thing, but in fact it does something else that you did not intend. A Trojan is not a computer virus and does not try and copy itself across your network. It is basically just a program that you need to run. Sometimes you may run this Trojan program when you actually think you are running a legitimate program. The name comes from the classical story of the wooden Trojan horse. Spam Be very careful about entering your address into forms on Web sites that you are not familiar with. You may later get unsolicited s (called spam) from that Web site. Even worse, your address may be passed on to companies that sell lists of addresses to advertisers, after which you will receive spam on a daily basis! Scareware Beware of popup messages that you do not recognize, telling you that your computer is infected and offering to fix the problem in return for payment with a credit card. Often the software that you download after payment is useless. Make sure that you have a legitimate virus and spyware checking program installed on your computer and that it is up to date. Firewall A firewall consists of software and hardware protection against invasion via the Internet.
