The security settings on your Web browser determine what types of pages
you visit and they protect you from potentially dangerous sites. For
example, many browsers give you the option to block particular websites
that are known to "phish," which means they try to trick you into
disclosing your personal financial data. These features are initially
set when you first download your browser, but you have the ability to
change them if you feel they are inappropriate for your needs. Make use
of the tools on your Web browser to change your security settings, as
you prefer.
