Web browser add-ons

Web browser add-ons add functionality—like extra toolbars, animated mouse pointers, stock tickers, and pop-up ad blockers—to your Web browser to make browsing a little more fun or effective.
How add-ons end up on your computer
Many add-ons come from the Internet. Most add-ons from the Internet require that you give your permission before they are downloaded to your computer. Some, however, might be downloaded without your knowledge. This can happen if you previously gave permission for all downloads from a particular Web site or because the add-on was part of another program that you installed. Some add-ons are installed with Microsoft Windows.
Some add-ons can shut down your browser
Add-ons are typically fine to use, but sometimes they force Internet Explorer to shut down unexpectedly. This can happen if the add-on was poorly built or created for an earlier version of Internet Explorer.
Here's what you can do:
· Update it: If the add-on is an ActiveX component, you should check to see if the item has been updated.
· Disable it: If an add-on causes repeated problems, you can disable the add-on.
· Report it: When prompted, please allow the problem to be reported to Microsoft. This is completely anonymous and requires nothing from you but permission. These reports are used to improve our products and to encourage other companies to update and improve theirs.

3. Click the add-on you want to disable and then click Disable.
Notes
· Some Web pages, or Internet Explorer, might not display properly if an add-on is disabled. It is recommended that you only disable an add-on if it repeatedly causes Internet Explorer to close.

3. Click the add-on you want to enable and then click Enable.
Note
· You might want to do this if you disabled an add-on but want to see a site that requires it, or if disabling the add-on caused general display problems with Web pages or Internet Explorer.

3. On the Blocked list, click the add-on for the publisher you want to unblock.
4. Near the bottom of the dialog, click Allow.
Note
· Unblocking a publisher will enable all add-ons that are digitally signed by that publisher on your computer
Notes
· If (Not verified) is displayed in the Publisher column, the add-on itself is not digitally signed even though the program that installed it might be.
· Some add-ons might have been disabled by an administrator. In that case, the add-on will not show up on the list of add-ons, or you will not be able to enable it. In order to use the add-on the administrator will have to enable
