Abstract
In an Internet processor, it is determined when a potential transmission of information over an Internet connection is about to occur. When a transmission is about to occur, a message is displayed to the user setting forth the information about to be transmitted, and indicating the address of the Internet server to which the information is about to be transmitted. The user of the Internet processor is given the option of canceling the transmission or continuing with the transmission.
