  • Start by getting into the Internet Options setting.
    1. Click "Start".
    2. Click "Control Panel".
      • If you don't see "Control Panel", click on "Settings", then click "Control Panel".
    3. Click "Network and Internet Connections". (If you don't see it, go to the next step.)
    4. Click "Internet Options".

Once you're in the Internet Options settings window, continue with the following settings. when you are done, click OK, then close all open windows.

  • Set up your Internet Connection to connect automatically.
    1. Click the "Connections" tab.
    2. Select "Dial whenever a network connection is not present".
    3. In the "Dialup and Virtual Private Network settings" box, click on "Andiamo" and then click the SET DEFAULT button.

  • Disable Install on Demand. This prevents web pages from automatically installing applications for you, preventing some types of adware and spyware from being installed without your knowledge.
    1. Click the "Advanced" tab.
    2. Look down the list until you find "Enable Install on Demand (Internet Explorer)" and uncheck it.
    3. The next item down is "Enable Install on Demand (Other)". Uncheck it also.
