existing home Internet gateway devices transition to IPv6. IPv6 is next generation Internet
protocol. It helps enable end-to-end connectivity often needed by peer-to-peer applications.
To do so, each time you start up the software the Teredo client ser vice will attempt to locate
a public Teredo Internet service. It does so by sending a query over the Internet. This quer y
only transfers standard Domain Name Service information to determine if your computer is
connected to the Inter net and can locate a public Teredo ser vice. If you
· use an application that needs IPv6 connectivity or
· configure your firewall to always enable IPv6 connectivity
by default standard Inter net Protocol information will be sent to the Teredo service at
Microsoft at regular intervals. No other information is sent to Microsoft. You can change this
default to use non-Microsoft servers. You can also switch off this feature using a command
line utility named “netshâ€.

use of the information sent will be subject to the third par ty’s privacy practices.
· Search Suggestions Service. In Internet Explorer, w hen you type a search query in the
Instant Search box or type a question mark (?) before your search term in the Address bar,
you will see search suggestions as you type (if supported by your search provider).
Ever ything you type in the Instant Search box or in the Address bar when preceded by a
question mar k (?) is sent to your search provider as you type. Also, when you press Enter or
click the Search button, the text in the Instant Search box or Address bar is sent to the
search provider. If you use a Microsoft search provider, use of the information sent is subject
to the Microsoft Online Privacy Statement. This statement is available at
go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=31493. If you use a third-par ty search provider, use of the
information sent will be subject to the thir d party’s privacy practices. You can turn search
suggestions off at any time. To do so, use Manage Add-ons under the Tools button in
Internet Explorer. For more information about the search suggestions ser vice, see
