For help with lETs security and privacy settings, look at the Microsoftwebsite and
these other sites, but remember, the IE browser in Windows XP is not the same as
the browser that came with Vista. Microsoft offers a set of four steps to improve your
online security and privacy. While it is incomplete, it is a good starting place for
strengthening your Microsoft-based browser and email security.

One of Internet Explorer's best security features is its Trusted Sites. The Trusted
Sites option is an excellent way to give some websites more privileges while keeping
most sites at higher security settings. Put only sites you absolutely trust. e.g., your
bank, in your "trusted sites" zone and keep all others at the highest security settings.
