Managing Internet Browser Security
With the release of Windows Vista, you can expect to use the newest and securest version of Microsoft s Web browser to date. New features in Internet Explorer 7 help prevent the inception and spread of malware. To help protect a user s personal information and the security of Vista in general, Internet Explorer 7 comes with many new advances in security and tools to help prevent or limit damage from an attack. One simple change is with the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protection offered when using the browser. Commonly, a padlock icon will show up at the bottom of the browser indicating you are entering a secure site that uses encryption technologies. Now, the new security status bar helps by showing you in clearer terms that a site you are visiting is safe. The padlock also appears closer to the top of the browser and is highlighted blue when safe. This is but one very simple example of things that have changed to make your browsing experience easier and safer.
Introduction to Web Browser Security
When you are surfing the Internet, it s easy to visit sites you think are safe but are not. These sites can introduce malware when you click the site itself, when you download a file from the site manually and install it, or worse, when you are conned into believing the site you ve visiting is a real site, but in fact is nothing more than a fake used to garner your personal information.
