Security

Now select the Security tab.

In this section you can change the security settings for the 4 different zones available. Although the only you should only be interested in really is the Internet zone. I’d recommend you select Medium via the slider bar available then make the following change in the Custom Level section. NOTE – This option below may not be available if you don’t have Internet Explorer 5 or later installed.

Allow paste operations via script. Set this to Prompt or Disable. Click Ok then select Yes when prompted.

For best security on the Internet however you should use also be using a Firewall (Can filter incoming/outgoing Internet traffic & warn of attempted access to your computer). Zone Alarm is probably the best software firewall available for most users & is available both Free & Purchasable versions also.

Content

Select the Content tab next.

If you’re a parent then the Content Advisor will probably be of some interest to you if you wish to screen any…. Questionable material that your children may inadvertently access while online. Select Enable if you want to enable this feature. Although I won’t be covering any more on that in this guide.

You can skip over the Certificates section if you wish as there’s nothing here really worth covering. Now hit the AutoComplete button.

In this section you can customize how the AutoComplete feature works.

Web addresses. Tick this setting to enable Auto Complete to display a list of previously entered URL’s when typing in a URL with a similar address (This list is obtained from your History), e.g. if I were to type in www.3dspotli, AutoComplete would display the following URL’s based on the address currently typed, removing incorrect URL’s as I type out the remainder. NOTE – You should also have Use inline AutoComplete Ticked if you wish to use this feature. From this list you may see the address you are looking to enter, so simply selecting it will save you the hassle of re-typing the address again.

That said, if you have your History stored for a long time (See the General tab) then enabling this may cause to much clutter as you have too many URL’s to scroll through. Untick to disable Auto Complete for Web addresses.
