Tech websites write a lot about Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, so it’s easy to feel a bit left out if you use Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer 9 is easily the best version of Internet Explorer ever released, and it includes some cool features. If you’re an Internet Explorer user, here’s a collection of browser tips just for you.

Some of IE’s features are best-in-class. For example, IE’s pinned sites integrate well with Windows 7’s taskbar, and pinned sites offer more features than application shortcuts in Chrome. Web accelerators are also a useful way to view information from the current page, and they’re specific to IE.

Pin Websites To Your Taskbar

Pinned websites work in tandem with Windows 7’s taskbar. To pin a website, drag and drop its icon from Internet Explorer’s address bar to the Windows taskbar. You can click the taskbar icon to instantly load the website in its own window.

Some websites contain special support for the pinning feature. For example, if you use Hotmail, you’ll see a count of unread messages in your Hotmail inbox – right on your taskbar. You can also right-click the taskbar icon to view a jump list of special options.

Trim Add-ons For Speed

Many applications install Internet Explorer add-ons. If you have quite a few add-ons, Internet Explorer will take longer to start. Internet Explorer identifies the add-ons that delay your browser and tell you how much they delay IE’s startup, so you can easily disable the worst offenders.

To open the Manage Add-ons dialog, click the gear-shaped Tools icon on IE’s toolbar and select Manage add-ons.

Enable Accelerators

Internet Explorer includes web accelerators for sending emails with Hotmail, mapping addresses with Bing, and translating languages with Bing Translate. These accelerators may be disabled, depending on what you selected when you installed IE. You can enable them from the Accelerators pane in the Manage Add-ons window.

To use an accelerator, select some text on a web page and right click (or click the accelerator icon that appears). You’ll be able to get instant results directly from the webpage – for example, you can see an address on a map or translate some text without loading an entire new page.

To get more accelerators, click the Find More Accelerators link in the Manage Add-ons window or visit Microsoft’s IE add-ons gallery.

Lock Your Preferred Search Provider

Some Windows programs like changing your default search engine to their own, usually inferior, search engines. To stop applications from manipulating your browser settings, you can lock your preferred search provider in place – other applications won’t be able to change it without your permission.

To make this change, open the Manage Add-ons window, select Search Providers in the sidebar, and enable the Prevent programs from suggesting changes to my default search provider option.

Reopen Closed Tabs

Internet Explorer 7 brought browser tabs to Internet Explorer users, but it was missing a crucial feature – that ability to reopen closed tabs. Thankfully, this feature was introduced in IE 8. All you have to do is right-click IE’s tabs and select Reopen closed tab. You can also select from a list of recently closed tabs using the Recently closed tabs submenu.

Browse Privately With InPrivate Browsing

To enable private-browsing mode, click the gear icon, point to Safety, and select InPrivate Browsing. In InPrivate Browsing mode, Internet Explorer won’t save any history, cookies, or other temporary Internet files. You can browse privately, knowing that other people that open IE later won’t be able to see what websites you were viewing. It’s ideal when you want to surprise someone with a gift and in many other situations.

Get Website Suggestions

Internet Explorer can suggest websites you may be interested in based on websites you visit. It does this by sending a list of websites you visit to Microsoft’s servers – so make sure you’re okay with that before enabling this feature.

To enable this feature, click the gear icon, point to the File menu, and select Suggested Sites. You’ll also have to enable your favorites bar – right-click IE’s toolbar and select Favorites bar to enable it. Click the Suggested Sites option on your favorites bar to view similar websites.

If you don’t see the Suggested Sites option on your favorites bar, you can add it from here.

You can also tweak a lot of Internet Explorer settings from the Internet Options dialog, which also contains parental controls that let you block access to specific categories of websites.

If you are really concerned about PC security then here are the top 10 security enhancements for your PC.

10 Tips To Improve Security of Your PC

1. Check Windows Update.Windows Me, 2000, and XP users can configure automatic updates. Click on the Automatic Updates tab in the System control panel and choose the appropriate options. If Its showing Genuine Problem.
Go to AMAZING TRICKS COLUMN and Check the Post How to Make Windows Genuine Without any patch and software.

2. Install a good Antivirus software and update it regularly.An Antivirus without updates is of no use. Examples of Best Antiviruses are Avira,Avast and AVG. Don't Ever Use Cracked Versions as They themselves contains viruses. Avira's Free Version Is himself provide better Security than Norton's Full Internet Security. In combination Use Some Trojan remover Like Trojan remover .
Its a best Combination. If You Not Regularly Installs an application on you PC then I recommend
DEEP FREEZE. Its just Best...

3. Install a personal firewall. Both SyGate (http://www.sygate.com/) and ZoneAlarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/) offer free versions.

4. Install a good Antispyware.(Antivirus with built-in antispyware is a go0d choice).You can Prefer Trojan Remover and Spyware Terminator . Itz just Best.
You can download them free from:
www.filehippo.com

5. Use strong passwords and change them periodically. Passwords should have at least seven to eight characters; use letters and numbers and have at least one symbol. A decent example would be f8izKro#l. This will make it much harder for anyone to gain access to your accounts and brute forcing for password is almost impossible.

6. If you’re using Outlook or Outlook Express, use the current version or one with the Outlook Security Update installed. The update and current versions patch numerous vulnerabilities.
I recommend to Use Other Clients like Thunderbird or PIDGIN as they are more secured and also their versions are regularly updated.

7. Be skeptical of things on the Internet. Don’t blindly assume that an email “From:” a particular person is actually from that person since it is possible to send a fake email. Never Follow the Links of the Websites from Emails as 1 of every 150 mails is a virus. Don't click links through email ID's especially the mails like You have won a lottery of 100000...$$ .. Itz just a LOL mail asking your confidential Information like name ,age,address and phone number..

8. Check for Versign SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate (Or logo) before you make any ecommerce transaction (Credit card transaction) with a website. And always use virtual Keyboard to enter the passwords and user names of secured accounts like credit cards etc..

9. Never disable the Auto-Protect feature of your Antivirus.If your Antivirus doesn’t have Auto-Protect feature then manually scan the files before you execute them. Avoid using cracks and Keygens. Try to download serial keys instead of keygens or cracks of softwares.

10. Never give out your passwords to anyone at any time even if the person claims to be from “support.”.Also If you uses Internet from cybercafe . Always keep changing your passwords...

Many people either don't have the money or don't have any interest in installing an anti virus or anti spyware program. While I feel that that is a mistake, an online scan can make a good alternative. You just have to use the right online scan. Check out the 4 online scans I recommend.

BitDefender

BitDefender is an amazing online anti virus scan. I found that it is equally effective, if not more so, than the AVG Free I run. My biggest complain about it is it gets plenty of false positives. False positives are when it thinks something is a virus, but it isn't actually a virus. Your average user probably won't see this problem too much, because you won't have nearly as much stuff on your computer as I do. Overall, I believe BitDefender is the best online scan out there.

HouseCall

Another good online virus scan. HouseCall has been around for a long time and a lot of people like it. I believe it is also very good, but I like BitDefender a bit more.

Panda

I love Panda's anti virus. I believe Panda anti virus is the only anti virus truly worth paying for. It's an absolute beast. That said, I'm not as sure about their online scan, mainly because I can't try it. It currently isn't compatible with Windows Vista, so I'm out of luck. They plan on changing that soon. Still, if it's anywhere near as good as their program's scan, it'll be a very good one to try.

Ewido

Ewido is the only online spyware scan I can recommend. I found Ewido to actually be MORE effective than the standard programs I was running. Even after running those programs, Ewido still found more stuff, some things as serious as Trojan horses! Definitely run Ewido.

I highly suggest running at least one of the virus scans and Ewido about once every week or two, even if you have programs installed for those jobs. A free second opinion never hurt anyone.

If your PC is not performing as it once was then it may be time to consider if a computer repair is in order. It is natural that overtime our computers slow down and develop faults and glitches. If you want to bring your PC back to its original performance speed then take a moment to check out the following tips and advice.

To start with you should understand how much disk space you have left remaining on your hard drive. The problems that you are having may be because the disk space is nearly full. If this is the case that you will need to delete applications that are using up a lot of space but are never required as well as transferring non essential files to a storage device such as portable drive. You will be amazed at the difference this can make.

When was the last time that you defragmented your hard drive and registry? This is a task that should be carried out on a weekly basis. When saving new programs and files it can happen that various sections are stored in different locations of the hard drive. The result is that the system would need to search the complete drive to run simple applications. By defragmenting on a regular basis the various components of files can be kept together in a more logical fashion.

How many antivirus programs and firewalls do you have installed? There is always the temptation to have two or more security applications running at the same time. Though you may think this will help protect your PC from harmful malware the fact is it will cause the system to run frustratingly slow. All you need is a single security suite, but one that covers every aspect of data protection.

Are you the type of computer owner that ends up placing many files and icons on the desktop? If so it should not come as surprise if you have performance related problems. Only keep those files and shortcuts that you actually require on the desktop.

How long does it take your computer to boot up when it is first switched on? Unfortunately it is all to common that our PCs take so much time to start that we can make and drink a cup of coffee before they are useable. The solution in such cases would be to minimize the number of programs that automatically launch when the PC is turned on.

It can occur that the fan on the computer becomes clogged with dirt and dust. If the fan cannot move adequately the CPU and other hardware will not be kept cool. The result is that the system may keep switching itself off to prevent overheating. If this is a scenario that sounds familiar you should contact a professional who can take the computer apart and clean the fan.

If using an operating system such as Windows Vista or Windows 7 then you need to be certain you have an adequate amount of RAM. If your PC has less than 1.5GM RAM then you should enquire in to having an upgrade. This is not expensive and can dramatically improve a computer’s performance and responsiveness.
