Offering protection where female goes to be browsing the internet (8)
I believe the answer is:
insuring
'offering protection' is the definition.
(providing insurance)
'where female goes to be browsing the internet' is the wordplay.
'where' becomes 'in' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'goes' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'to be browsing the internet' becomes 'surfing' (I've seen this before).
'surfing' with 'f' removed is 'suring'.
'in'+'suring'='INSURING'
