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.
At the "Medium" security level, Internet Explorer 5 will prompt
users before running potentially unsafe content.
Internet Explorer 5 or above will also display a warning message before
running any
Active-X controls (as shown on the picture below).
We also advise that users always save files to
the local hard drive and then scan them with an up-to-date antivirus product. If
you don’t have an antivirus product or your product is out of date, please
feel free to use our free on-line scanner HouseCall
To automatically change the Internet Explorer 5
Security Setting to "Medium", please run the following registry file:
