Overview
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE****************************** Introduction Microsoft Internet Explorer provides a number of features that help protect privacy and secure computers and personally identifiable information. Security features help prevent unauthorized access to information, such as credit card information a user enters when shopping on the Internet. Security features can also protect computers from unsafe software. Privacy features protect personally identifiable information by helping you to understand how the Web sites you view may be using this information. These features also enable you to specify privacy settings that determine whether you want to allow Web sites to save cookies on your computer. Connection settings, such as proxy server settings and dial-up and virtual private network (VPN) connection settings, enable you to identify the proxy servers to use for various protocols and to identify the dial-up or VPN connection for accessing the Internet. Objectives After completing this module, you will be able to:
! ! !
Configure security for Internet Explorer. Configure privacy for Internet Explorer. Configure connection settings for Internet Explorer.
Lesson: Configuring Security for Internet Explorer
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE****************************** Introduction Internet Explorer provides several security features, including:
! !
The ability to update, disable, or enable Web browser add-ins. Enhanced security features that provide warnings when a Web site is trying to download files or software to your computer. Digital signatures, which verify that a file comes from the person or publisher it claims to be from and that no one has tampered with it since it was digitally signed. A 128-bit secure connection for using secure Web sites.
To configure security for Internet Explorer, you can assign a Web site to a zone that has a suitable security level. You can also change the security level for a zone. Lesson objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
! !
Configure security zones. Configure security settings.
Configuring Security Zones
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE****************************** Introduction Internet Explorer enables you to assign a Web site to a zone that has a suitable security level. You can determine which zone the current Web page is in by looking at the right side of the Internet Explorer status bar. Whenever you attempt to open or download content from the Web, Internet Explorer checks the security settings for that Web sites zone. Internet Explorer classifies online content into security zones. You can assign a unique security level to each zone to define the level of browser access. Internet Explorer security settings for accessing a Web site are based on the zone to which a Web site belongs. For each zone, you can control settings for:
! ! ! !
Security zones
Managing ActiveX controls, cookies, scripts, and Java capabilities Downloading files Authenticating passwords Providing cross-frame security
Recommended settings
Use the following guidelines to place Web sites in their appropriate security zones and to select settings for the zones in Internet Explorer:
!
Local intranet zone. This zone contains sites that you trust on your organizations intranet. You probably want to allow users to run all types of active content from this location. To provide this capability, set the Local intranet zone security level to Low. Internet zone. This zone contains all sites that you have not placed in other zones. Assign the Internet zone a higher security level, such as Medium or High, to prevent users from running active content and downloading code.

!
Trusted sites zone. This zone contains specific sites that you trust. You can place the Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) or entire domains in the Trusted sites zone. Although you do not own these sites, you probably want to allow users to run all types of content from this zone. To provide this capability, set the Local intranet zones security level to Low. Restricted sites zone. This zone contains Internet sites that include potentially harmful Web content. Assign the highest security levels to the Restricted sites zone to prevent users from downloading and running active content.
Important Configure the Local intranet zone to correspond to the network and firewall configurations of your organization. The default settings for the Local intranet zone may not match your network configuration, and there is no method for Internet Explorer to detect your firewall automatically.
Configuring Security Settings
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE****************************** Introduction You can change the security level for a zone. For example, you might want to change the security setting for your Local intranet zone to Low. You can also customize the settings within a zone. To set a security level for a zone: 1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options. 2. Click the Security tab, and then click the zone for which you want to set the security level. 3. Under Security level for the zone, select Default Level to use the default security level for the zone, or click Custom Level, and then select the settings you want. Note When adding a site to either Trusted sites or Restricted sites, you must type the entire URL, for example, http://www.msn.com.
Procedure for setting security levels
Lesson: Configuring Privacy for Internet Explorer
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE****************************** Introduction Internet Explorer provides a number of features that help protect your privacy. Privacy features in Internet Explorer include:
!
Privacy settings that specify how your computer manages cookies. Cookies are files created by a Web site to store information, such as your preferences when visiting the site, on your computer. Cookies may also store personally identifiable information such as your name or e-mail address. Privacy alerts that let you know when you try to gain access to a site that does not meet the criteria in your privacy settings. The ability to view a Web sites Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) privacy policy. The ability to block most pop-up windows.
Lesson objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

! ! ! !
Identify privacy settings. Configure privacy settings. Use certificates for privacy and security. Configure Pop-up Blocker.
Privacy Settings
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE****************************** Introduction Understanding privacy policies Internet Explorer includes privacy settings that enable you to protect your personally identifiable information. A Web sites privacy policy tells you what kind of information the Web site collects, to whom it gives that information, and how it uses the information. Many Web sites provide privacy statements as written documents that you can view on the Internet. Web sites also might provide a P3P privacy policy. If a Web site has a P3P privacy policy, Internet Explorer can display it. Internet Explorer also might be able to compare your privacy settings to a representation of the P3P privacy policy and determine whether to allow the Web site to save cookies on your computer. Understanding cookies Some Web sites store information in a small text file on your computer. This file is called a cookie. There are several types of cookies, and you can choose whether to allow some, none, or all of them to be saved on your computer. A cookie is a file created by an Internet site to store information, such as your preferences when visiting the site, on your computer.. For example, if you inquire about a flight schedule at an airlines Web site, the site might create a cookie that contains your itinerary. Or, it might contain only a record of the pages you looked at within the site you visited; this information will help the site customize the view for you the next time you visit. Cookies can also store personally identifiable information. Personally identifiable information is information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, e-mail address, home or work address, or telephone number. However, a Web site has access only to the personally identifiable information that you provide. For example, a Web site cannot determine your email address unless you provide it. Also, a Web site cannot gain access to other information on your computer. Once a cookie is saved on your computer, only the Web site that created the cookie can read it.
How cookies are used
Types of cookies
There are several types of cookies, including:

!
Persistent cookies. A persistent cookie is one stored as a file on your computer, and it remains there when you close Internet Explorer. The cookie can be read by the Web site that created it when you visit that site again. Temporary cookies. A temporary or session cookie is stored only for your current browsing session; it is deleted from your computer when you close Internet Explorer. First-party cookies. A first-party cookie either originates on or is sent to the Web site you are currently viewing. These cookies are commonly used to store information, such as your preferences when visiting that site. Third-party cookies. A third-party cookie either originates on or is sent to a Web site different from the one you are currently viewing. The third-party Web site usually provides some content on the Web site you are viewing. For example, many sites use advertising from third-party Web sites, and those third-party Web sites may use cookies. A common use for this type of cookie is to track your Web page use for advertising or other marketing purposes. Third-party cookies can be either persistent or temporary. Unsatisfactory cookies. Unsatisfactory cookies are cookies that might allow access to personally identifiable information that could be used for a secondary purpose without your consent.
Working with cookies
Internet Explorer allows the use of cookies; however, you can change your privacy settings to specify that Internet Explorer prompt you before placing a cookie on your computer (this enables you to allow or block the cookie); or you can prevent Internet Explorer from accepting any cookies. However, if you do not allow cookies at all, you may not be able to view some Web sites or take advantage of customization features (such as local news and weather, or stock quotes).
Configuring Privacy Settings
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE****************************** Introduction Changing privacy settings You can configure privacy settings to control the use of cookies in Internet Explorer. To change privacy settings: 1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options. 2. On the Privacy tab, move the slider up for a higher level of privacy or down for a lower level of privacy, as specified in the following table:
Setting Block all cookies High Effects Cookies from all Web sites will be blocked. Existing cookies on your computer cannot be read by Web sites. Cookies from all Web sites that do not have a compact policy (a condensed computer-readable privacy statement) will be blocked. Cookies from all Web sites that use your personally identifiable information without your explicit consent will be blocked. Medium High Cookies from third-party Web sites that do not have a compact policy (a condensed computer-readable privacy statement) will be blocked. Cookies from third-party Web sites that use your personally identifiable information without your explicit consent will be blocked. Cookies from first-party Web sites that use your personally identifiable information without your implicit consent will be blocked.

Using Certificates for Privacy and Security
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE****************************** Introduction You can use certificates to protect your personally identifiable information on the Internet and to protect your computer from unsafe software. A certificate is a statement verifying the identity of a person or the security of a Web site. Internet Explorer uses two types of certificates:
!
Types of certificates
A personal certificate is a verification that you are who you say you are. This information is used when you send personal information over the Internet to a Web site that requires a certificate verifying your identity. You can control the use of your identity by having a private key on your computer. When used with e-mail programs, security certificates with private keys are also known as digital IDs. A Web site certificate states that a specific Web site is secure and genuine. It ensures that no other Web site can assume the identity of the original secure site. When you are sending personal information over the Internet, it is a good idea to check the certificate of the Web site you are using to make sure that it will protect your personally identifiable information. When you are downloading software from a Web site, you can use certificates to verify that the software is coming from a known, reliable source.
How security certificates work
A security certificate, whether it is a personal certificate or a Web site certificate, associates an identity with a public key. Only the owner of the certificate knows the corresponding private key. The private key allows the owner to make a digital signature or decrypt information encrypted with the corresponding public key. When you send your certificate to other people, you are actually giving them your public key, so they can send you encrypted information that only you can decrypt and read with your private key. The digital signature component of a security certificate is your electronic identity card. The digital signature tells the recipient that the information actually came from you and has not been forged or tampered with.
12
Before you can start sending encrypted or digitally signed information, you must obtain a certificate and set up Internet Explorer to use it. When you visit a secure Web site (one whose address starts with https), the site automatically sends you its certificate. Obtaining security certificates Security certificates are issued by independent certification authorities. There are different classes of security certificates, each one providing a different level of credibility. You can obtain your personal security certificate from certification authorities. Microsoft Certificate Authority service runs on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Certificate Authority services can be used to receive certificate requests, verify the information in the request and the identity of the requester, issue certificates, revoke certificates, and publish a certificate revocation list (CRL). Viewing security certificates To view security certificates: 1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options. 2. Click the Content tab. 3. Under Certificates, click the Certificates or Publishers button to view the list of current certificates that are trusted.
13
Configuring Pop-up Blocker
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE****************************** Introduction Internet Explorer allows you to prevent most pop-up windows from appearing over pages you want to view while you are using the Internet. Pop-up windows are small Web browser windows that are frequently used for advertising. They often open as soon as you navigate to a Web site, whether you want to see them or not. They might open when you click a link or button on a Web site, and they might open either over or under the window you want to view. Some pop-ups that you open by clicking a link or button are helpful. For example, if you click an image to see a larger version, it might open in a pop-up window. Pop-up Blocker Internet Explorer provides the Pop-up Blocker feature for blocking pop-up windows and displays a notification in the Information Bar when a pop-up is blocked. Clicking the Information Bar allows you to display the blocked popup, allow all pop-ups on the current site, and configure other settings. To enable or disable Pop-up Blocker: 1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker. 2. Click Turn On Pop-up Blocker to enable it, or click Turn Off Pop-up Blocker to disable it. Note The Pop-up Blocker is enabled by default.
Enabling or disabling Pop-up Blocker
14
Viewing a pop-up that Internet Explorer has blocked
To view a pop-up that has been blocked: 1. In Internet Explorer, underneath the Address Bar, click the Information Bar when it notifies you that a pop-up window has been blocked. 2. Click Show Blocked Pop-up. Internet Explorer might block multiple popups at one time. If this happens, click Pop-up Blocked and then click Show Blocked Pop-up. In some cases, the Web site might display a different pop-up than the one that was blocked, or not show a pop-up at all. Note The Information Bar must be visible to perform this procedure. If the Information Bar is not visible, you must select the Show Information Bar when a pop-up is blocked check box in Pop-up Blocker Settings.
Viewing pop-ups from a specific Web site
The default settings for the Pop-up Blocker allow you to see pop-ups that are opened when you click a link or button on a Web site. For example, there might be some Web sites that you visit on a regular basis, and you want to see the pop-ups displayed by those sites. To view pop-ups from a specific Web site: 1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker. 2. Click Pop-up Blocker Settings. 3. In the Address of Web site to allow box, type the address (or URL) of the Web site from which you want to see pop-ups, and then click Add.
Pop-ups appear after enabling Pop-up Blocker
In some cases, you may still see pop-ups after you have turned on the Pop-up Blocker. There could be several reasons for this, including:
!
You could have software on your computer that is launching pop-ups. To stop these pop-ups, you will have to identify the software and then remove it or change its settings to stop it from launching pop-ups. Some windows with animated content are not blocked. Internet Explorer will not block pop-ups from Web sites that are in either of two Web content zones: Local intranet or Trusted sites. Internet Explorer will not block pop-ups that have been added to the list of sites from which you will allow pop-ups.
! !
Removing sites from Web content zones that allow pop-ups
To remove a site from Web content zones that allow pop-ups: 1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options. 2. Click the Security tab. 3. Click the Web content zone from which you want to block pop-ups, and then click Sites. If you are removing a Web site from the Local intranet zone, click Advanced, and then go to Step 4. 4. In the Web sites box, click the Web site from which you want to block popup windows, and then click Remove.
15
Changing which sites are allowed to show pop-ups
To change which sites are allowed to show pop-ups: 1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker, and click Pop-up Blocker Settings. 2. In the Address of Web site to allow box, click the Web site you want to remove from the list, and then click Remove.
Blocking all pop-ups
To block all pop-ups, even if they are launched when clicking a link or button on a Web site: 1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker, and then click Pop-up Blocker Settings. 2. Select the High setting in the box near the bottom of the dialog box. If you want to see pop-ups that are blocked when you have this setting turned on, hold down the CTRL key while the Internet Explorer window opens.

17
Configuring Proxy Server Settings
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE****************************** Introduction A proxy server sits at the edge of a network between the local area network (LAN) and the Internet. Proxy servers can perform network address translation, reducing the number of public Internet addresses that are needed. They can also perform filtering and blocking of both inbound and outbound traffic. If the network has a proxy server, Internet Explorer must be configured for the proxy server in order for the client computer to access the Internet. To configure proxy-server settings in Internet Explorer: 1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options. 2. Click the Connections tab, and then click LAN Settings. 3. Select the Use a proxy server for your LAN check box. 4. In the Address box, type the address or name of the proxy server. 5. In the Port box, type the port number used by the proxy server (the standard port number is 80). 6. If there are different proxy servers for different services, click Advanced. 7. In the Proxy Settings dialog box, under Exceptions, you can specify addresses that will not use the proxy server to establish a connection. Note If the computer that you are configuring is a portable computer, you may also need to configure proxy settings for dial-up and VPN connections that are configured on the computer.
