ADVANCED Settings

Below are my specific recommendations for important settings in this section. Tick the following settings:-

Disable script debugging Disable script debugging (Other) Enable Install on Demand (Internet Explorer) Enable Third Party Browser Extensions Use Passive FTP Use smooth scrolling Check for publisher’s certificate revocation Check for signatures on downloaded programs Do not save encrypted pages to disk Use SSL 2.0 Use SSL 3.0 Warn about invalid site certificates Warn if forms submittal is being redirected

Un-tick/check the following settings:-

Automatically check for Internet Explorer Updates Display a notification about every script error Enable Install on Demand (Other) Enable off-line items to be synchronized on a schedule Enable Personalized Favourites menu Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed The remaining settings in this section can either be left at default or set to taste. If in doubt, leave the others at their default. Once you have changed these settings, click the Apply button, exit the settings and try out a few of your favourite web pages. If they do not function properly or to your taste then you may have to change specific security or privacy settings until you are comfortable with the balance between Internet security, privacy and functionality.
