The LIVE Tutorial, (Configuring Guard-IE
  after Successful Installation)


NOTE: This is a LIVE tutorial whose purpose is to help you configure Guard-IE Ad Blocking Privacy & Security Suite and Popup Blocker.  Going through the 5 steps of this tutorial should take 5 to 10 minutes.
 
Note:  When you click any of the check boxes in the Tutorial they will really effect your Guard-IE settings!  In other words, the images in Tutorial 1 through Tutorial 5 are not screen-dumps but are, instead, the actual program controls.
 
Getting Started
 
After Guard-IE is installed, you should see the Guard-IE (GIE) toolbar within the Internet Explorer toolbar as circled in red below:
 


Note that the GIE toolbar might only show three icons: the castle icon, the Pop-up Blocker icon, and the Web Rules icon.  The other icons are there but hidden out of the way to right and can be accessed by sliding the toolbar to the left (The complete GIE toolbar is shown below).
 
 
For more information on the Guard-IE Toolbar and its functions, see the section entitled: Using the Guard-IE Toolbar.

If you do not see the GIE toolbar, position your mouse cursor inside the Internet Explorer toolbar, then right-click the right mouse button.  You should see the pull-down menu below:
 

 
Make sure that "Guard-IE" is checked. If the toolbar is NOT visible, you might also try repeatedly un-checking and checking this option a few times.

If you see only part of the Guard-IE toolbar, it may be hidden by other toolbars and you may just need to move your toolbars around to display the remaining icons. If you are running Internet Explorer (IE) 6.0, you must right-click in the IE toolbar and select "unlock toolbars" before doing this.

To move a toolbar move the mouse cursor to the left side of the toolbar and hover over the small vertical bar, then hold down the left mouse button and drag the toolbar to a desired location.

If you wish to access the entire GIE toolbar, just grab the left side of the toolbar with the left mouse button (as explained above) and slide the toolbar to wherever you like.  You will then see the toolbar below:
