Depending on how much you surf, you can also use IE's security zones to control what sites can do what. W2003 Server almost reverses how the zones are set up. The normal Internet Zone is set for high security, almost as tight as the Restricted Sites zone. For sites where you want to store cookies, run scripts, etc, you add them to the Trusted Sites zone. Setting the Trusted sites to Medium Security will duplicate the default settings other versions use for the Internet zone, but you could also use the Restricted Sites zone for intermediate levels of sercurity. The zone names are just arbitrary and the normal defaults are high, medium, and low secuirity for Restricted, Normal, and Trusted, but you can set them anyway you want and customize them further using the Custom button. For corporate networks, you should check with the sysadmin in case some of the zones are set-up for internal apps or security. <br /> <br />There's a web accesory called pwrtwks.exe you can download from Microsoft that adds Tools menu options to add the current site to the zones, otherwise you have to type them in manually. You also need to add Microsoft Update plus any other automatic update sites to the Trusted zone, otherwise they may not work properly. It's fairly common practice to have Outlook Express set up to open HTML using the Restricted Zone settings, so that might need to be changed as well. <br /> <br />This probably works best for people who visit a regular set of sites, and don't mind restricted functionality for other sites they surf or search on. You'll still get spyware from the trusted sites, but it will generally be the the benign kind. It's still a good idea to run Ad-Aware every once in awhile. I do it before doing a backup.
