Internet Security Settings in Windows 7

I am running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11. I am trying to find a listing of the recommended settings for the Security section under Internet Properties. I have found several listings for the Advanced section, but not Security.
Can anyone guide me to a listing like this or a website that gives specific details about what each setting does or controls so that I can adjust my system correctly. I find that using the Windows 7 factory settings slows the system down somewhat.
Thank you

Hi,
It sounds like you want to disable ActiveX content (flash) or you have an errant COM browser Addon.
or you have a long list of domains in your Trusted Sites zone.
Changing the default IE security zone settings is not recommended.
Legacy anti-spyware like Spybot S&d or the MVP hosts lists are no longer required and long Trusted Sites lists are known to slow performance.
SmartScreen Filter or your AV product include listings of known 'bad' domains.
You can find the latest listing here -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/182569
tools>activeX filtering to toggle site ActiveX filtering.
Internet Options>Advanced tab, uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions" (Close and restart IE for the full changes to take affect) to disable COM Toolbars and BHO's.
Check for updates to your AV program and run a scan to identify any malware that you may have installed.

Cannot change date and time settings, popup "These files can't be opened: Your internet security settings prevented..."

When I try to change my date and time settings I get a Windows Security popup that reads: "These files can't be opened. Your Internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened. C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe"
I have Windows 7 64 bit. I also have McAfee SecurityCenter installed. I have tried turning off my firewall temporarily, but the problem persists. I am not sure if it is some type of virus. If anyone could give me some information
as to what could be causing this I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Perhaps, this issue is caused by a sign of corruption.
Please try to use sfc/scannow to check the System Files.

Ethernet/internet security settings

Hi
I'm wondering what is the best, safest way I should set my Ethernet settings (in the Network section of 'System Preferences') to keep my internet connection safe from anyone trying to scam on my connection.
by the way, I'm using an Unwired modem.
Thanks

Go to system preferences>security>firewall. The firewall should be on. The most secure setting (I have been told) is block all incoming connections.

P.S. That description is for OS X 10.6 so the OS X 10.5 setting may be slightly different.
Hi Barry, and thanks for the reply.
I have three options in Preferences>Security>Firewall;
1/ Allow all incoming connection (it was set to this by default)
2/ Allow only essential services
3/ Set access for specific services and applications
I guess option 3 looks best...

Windows 7 internet security will not allow the installation of Flash Player 17 Update

Windows 7 internet security will not allow the installation of the Flash Player 17 update. I have tried the direct install using the IE_AX update without success.

Hi,
Thanks for the screenshot. It's very helpful. Essentially, this is an issue with the internet security settings on your machine (Internet Explorer > Internet Options > Security), and not a Flash Player issue. I Googled "internet security settings prevented one or more files from opening' and it returned numerous hits. I'm posting a few for you, however, I'm not endorsing any of them. I recommend you search your self and select one you feel comfortable with.

In Desperate need for help with Security Settings

I am currrently working on a project that requires a Flash
submenu running through an HTML Browser window and running from a
CD. The problem is that the final destination for these CDs will be
on computers without the capability to connect to the internet. So,
when the user gets the popup requiring them to change the security
setting in order to use the flash element, which is through the
internet (the dumbest way of doing this) they have no choice but to
decline the popup and therfore cannot use the flash submenu.
Is there a way to automatically be trusted whitiout the use
of the internet "security settings" window???????? If anyone from
Adobe/Macromedia read this please be advise that this should really
change to be computer based and not requiring an internet
connection.
If this is esay enough to change, I regret everything that I
am thinking of about Adobe/Macromedia at the time I writing this.
and please acceot my apologies.
If not, well.....
Thanks for anyones help.

When Exporting, you get the option of setting the Local
Playback security (very bottom of the Export dialogue box). Have
you checked to make sure you have yours set to "Access local files
only"?
What is the submeu trying to access that would cause the
sandbox warning?

Weblogic overwrites files security settings

Hi everyone,
I am having a local installation on Weblogic 10.3.6.0 for debugging purposes. The installation was done with a specific system user called oracle, so he is the owner of all installation folder tree.
Now, every time the server is restarted with the given oracle user, the security settings for all folder tree, including files, is set to 755, no matter if I try to change the permission as root, it always rolls-back to such settings.
As mentioned I am mainly doing debugging and I frequently need to start / stop / deploy and control the all weblogic server with a normal user which is not oracle. But because I don't have write permission it fails.
Is there any way to set this permission to at least the users part of the same oracle group?
Thanks

Metro IE - Your current security settings are putting you at risk

This problem has suddenly occured after a restart. I do not know why. I did run malwarebytes earlier and it found an removed a few items. I have since uninstalled it.
When I open the metro version of IE, I get a blank page. When I open a new tab, I similarly get a blank page. On entering a URL in the address bar of any tab, I hit return or the 'go' arrow, and nothing happens. The same is true if I select an address from
my favourites list.
On the screen at the bottom is a message that reads: "Your current security settings are putting you at risk". It has an option called "Fix settings for me". I click this and nothing happens.
I have closed and re-started IE and the problem does not go away. Desktop IE shows nothing unusual that I can see.
I have checked that Windows Defender is enabled and it is. Ditto for SmartScreen and the Windows firewall.
I want to know what these settings are that are supposed to change, and how to do so. The Fix Settings For Me button responds to my clicking (it flashes colour), but appears to do nothing.
Thanks for any help. I did search for some time but couldn't find anything. It's all references to Vista, XP or desktop IE.

Java WebDynpro's and IE security settings for file download

We have a EP 7.0 SP13 environment on which we have deployed a number of own developed java webdynpro's. In some of these webdynpro's we provide the file download functionality. The portal and webdynpro's are used by both internal personnel and external customers.
On the other hand the default Internet security settings for Internet Explorer, disable "Automatic prompting for file downloads".
When a user, with these default security settings active, tries to use our webdynpro's file download functionality, the screen seems to refreshes but no file download starts. When (s)he retries, the session runs for some minutes and gives following error message:
"com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.session.LockException: Thread SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_20 failed to acquire exclusive lock on client session ClientSession".
This behavior is explained in SAPNote 1234847. Webdynpro provides a single-thread module, meaning a user session is blocked for the during of the request. And because the previous file download isn't yet completed the new try can't start.
Issue now, although the users IE settings allow file downloads and don't block pop up's, he can't download the file and even isn't made aware of the cause of the failure.
How can we avoid this issue, without having to communicate the
application requires specific browser settings?

F-Secure für Windows 10

Ich nutze Windows 19 Pro Technical Preview Evaluierungskopie build 9926.Ab wann ist F-Secure Internet Security für Windows 10 verfügbar.

Hallo,Ich hatte von Windows 8.1 auf die Windows 10 Insider Preview geupdated, danach wurde F-Secure von Windows 10 deaktiviert bzw. beim update nicht übernommen. Jetzt bin ich auf der final von Windows 10 mit den aktuellen patchen. ich habe grade den aktuellen f-Secure Internet Security Network Downloader heruntergeladen. Wenn ich den jetzt ausführe (normal oder als Administrator), passiert einfach gar nichts, keine Fehlermeldung nix. Auch im Eventlog steht nichts. Irgendeine Idee? Gibt es irgendwo das volle Paket zum downloaden? Ich habe noch ein laufendes Abo bis Mai 2016.

Windows 2008 R2, Internet Information Services: Changing security settings to change a folder's content by using PHP

Hello,
I would like to ask if somebody's there who could help me:
I am a PHP developer from Stuttgart, Germany.
In my PHP web application I want to edit text files by using PHP code.
These files are created once (by me), so they exist before the PHP application is used by any web user.
My PHP code reads out some text files and other text files' contents are changed.
In my developer's environment (Windows XP, XAMPP) it works fine.
So I'm sure my code is OK.
But the productive system ist a windows server system (Windows 2008 R2 and Internet Information Services).
And here it doesn't work! The text files' contents aren't changed.
I know on windows based webserver systems I have to change the folders security settings
(what I mean: the folders where the text files are placed). I must give the IIS system user (in the past it's name was IUSR..., now it is named otherwise) additional rights, so that it can change folders content.
I did. But it doesn't work.
Some years ago when we used Windows Server 2003 that was the solution that worked.
Giving the IUSR right to change folders content. That was it.
But what is new in Windows Server 2008 that it doesn't work?
I think it must be very complicated. Could somebody help me?
Thanks
Tommy

How to change security settings in Flash Player if internet is unavailable?

I have a local html page that has an embedded .swf file,
which is also on my local computer. The .swf file is for local use
only when there is no Internet service available. The first time I
open the html page on an internet browser, IE, I got the Flash
Security prompt window, which asks me to change the security
settings. The setting change is done online under the url:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04a.ht ml
If there is no internet connection, how then can one change
the security settings so that one can access the local swf? Any
help would be appreciated.

Do I really need to set security for my wireless connection. I searched for available WiFi in my area prior to installing my network and none were available. Does that matter?
The network never did function right from the start. My desktop is a Dell Inspiron 510n and is not wireless capable? So when I tried to add my HP mni 1000 it did not let me access the Internet.
So now I have an unsecured network. Am I vulnerable to attack?
Which leads me to my real question How do I change the security settings?
Oh yeah, my home computer crashed due to a program I downloaded, so I do not have access to it. i'm a mess....
Thanks,for any help
Phil
