Set Internet Explorer Security to at Least "Medium"

By default, the Internet Explorer Security Setting is set to "Medium." However, Cyber Sentry has seen many systems where the security system was changed to "Low" by a virus, Trojan, or hacker.

In this regard, we encourage every user to ensure that their security setting is set to at least "Medium", as this will reduce the risk of accidentally running a malicious file.
