Responding to Internet Guard Dog alert messages
Internet Guard Dog works as you work to protect your privacy and security.
When Internet Guard Dog detects a potential problem, it either handles the
problem automatically or warns you with an alert message based on your
Internet Guard Dog settings.
Each alert message tells you what potential problem triggered the message
and Internet Guard Dog’s recommendation on how to respond. If you want
more information about the problem, click the Question Mark button and then
click anywhere inside the alert message.
If you find over time that you are being alerted to potential security risks too
often, you can adjust the alert message settings in Protection Settings. Cookie
Blocker and Gatekeeper require a period of adjustment before Internet Guard
Dog has learned to address your concerns with the least amount of disruption.
TIP: If you decide you no longer want to see an alert message, use the
question mark (?) button in the alert message to find out what setting to
change. All of the settings that control the alert messages are located
under Protection Settings in the Options menu.
Using Browser Buddy to retrieve or store your Web site
passwords
You can depend on Internet Guard Dog to help you easily navigate through
the intricacies of the Web. For example, when you connect to Web sites that
require a name and password, you can use Browser Buddy to:
• Drag your username or password from Password Manager and drop it on
the login form for the Web site.
• Add new password information for a Web site.
Browser Buddy can also tell you how many cookies have been allowed or
rejected by Cookie Blocker and how many times a search information you
initiated from one Web site, has been blocked by Search Protector from being
passed to another Web site.
TIP: Browser Buddy always remains displayed on top of any programs
open on your screen. If Browser Buddy is located in an awkward
position, you can close it and reopen it as needed.
