Basic Security

You can set the security zones to easily provide the appropriate level of security for the various types of Web content that you are likely to encounter. For example, because you can fully trust the sites on your intranet, you probably want to run all types of active content from this location. To provide this capability, set the Local intranet zone to a low level of security. You might not feel as confident about sites on the Internet, so you can assign a higher level of security to the entire Internet zone.

To configure security zone settings on Internet Explorer 6.0

1) On the Tools menu, click Internet Options, and then click the Security tab.
2) Click a security zone to select it and view its current settings.
3) As necessary, change the following settings:
Security level - To change the security level for the selected zone to High, Medium, Medium-low, or Low, move the slider. The on-screen description for each level can help you decide which level to select.
Sites - To add or remove Web sites from the zone, click the Sites button, and then click the Add or Remove button to customize your list of sites for the selected zone.
Custom level - For more precise control of your security settings, click the Custom Level button, and then select the options you want. At any time, you can click Default Level on the Security tab to return to the original security level for the selected zone.
