Surfing the internet for the novice should be a fun experience. Take time to find a home page you like and start there, be it Yahoo or MSN. Both have very interesting content that changes throughout the day.
When surfing, avoid sites with too many popups. These popups can really make your experience frustrating. A lot of these popups will stick a cookie on your system and then, there you will have a popup problem. Also you can go in to your windows tab and see the sites security. If the site has a low security, avoid it in the future.
By clicking on your Tools tab in your Internet Explorer you will see the words “internet options” click on this and then it will bring you up a menu to your other features, from there click on your privacy tab. From this point you can tell your computer no more popups.
For future reference, you may want to avoid sites that have popups that clutter your surfing. Many directories have rules against popups, but there are still some sites that have them. Stick with the sites that you feel most comfortable with.
At the end of your session of surfing, it is smart to find your cookies folder and clear it out. This will also get rid of any problems that you may have and, also will cut down on files that are being stores with really no use.
