COMPATIBILITY
The Anonymizer Privacy Toolbar is compatible with the following operating systems and browsers:

Operating Systems: Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT, Me, XP

Browsers: Internet Explorer 5.0 and up

TO INSTALL & ACTIVATE
Note: If you have the Anonymizer Privacy Button installed, this installation will automatically uninstall the Privacy Button and replace it with the Privacy Toolbar. The Privacy Toolbar has greater functionality and more customization options than the Privacy Button.

Installation
The Anonymizer Privacy Toolbar will automatically install when you download it. Once the installation is completed, you may need to reboot your PC and/or activate the Privacy Toolbar in Internet Explorer in order to use it.

Activating & Positioning the Privacy Toolbar in Internet Explorer
The following steps may be necessary if the Anonymizer Privacy Toolbar is not visible in your IE toolbar after the installation, or if the Privacy Toolbar has moved or displaced your other IE toolbars (like your Links bar, for example) and you want to put them back to their original position.

Open Internet Explorer if it is not already open

Right-click the Windows icon in the upper right hand corner your Internet Explorer browser window. A menu like the one pictured below should appear.



Unlock the IE Toolbars. If there is a check mark next to to the "Lock Toolbars" option, select this option in order to uncheck it. (If the "Lock Toolbars" option is already unchecked, you can skip this step)

Check the "Anonymizer Toolbar" option. The Anonymizer Privacy Toolbar should appear in your browser window.

Rearrange your toolbars as desired. Activating the Anonymizer Privacy Toolbar may have moved or condensed some of your toolbars (the Links bar is a common one affected - it may be condensed). You can grab and move or expand any toolbar to a new position simply by clicking, holding and dragging it.



Turn on Privacy Protection by clicking the OFF/ON button or the Anonymizer Shield on the Anonymizer Privacy Toolbar. If you are using the premium Full Version, you will be prompted for your Anonymizer username and password at this time.
