Windows Forum / Security / Internet Explorer Security / July 2008IE7 security slider is manipulaed by web sites, No matter how you
Recently i moved the slider for internet zone in security tab to full and browsed the net. i observed thie following behaviour. 1- when you are on reputable sites like yahoo or rediff or something like this, and if you check your security slider using internet option > security you will find it is not manipulated it is set to thr HIgh as set by you. 2- if you happens to go on site like youtube with your slider in internet zone at high setting and try to search for any video and when search page is displayed if you verify the sttings of your slider you find that it is not at high but a custom is displayed there. 3- siilarly if you go on sites that allows you to wath streaming video online with high settings and you happens to check your slider settings you will find that it is not at HIGH but silder is not present , instead CUSTOM is displayed. 4- If you click on CUSTOM button to verify which settings are manipulated you will find that no settings are changed the combination present is of HIGH or restricted zone, i.e most controls are disabled. my qustion to forum members is why this security slider disaapears and a CUSTOM button appears on some sites , whereas inside nothing has changed. Does this means IE7 security slider just gives you a false sense of security or IE7 is very easily manipulated by sites like youtubes etc. I am using NIS2008 computer happens to be cleaned of diease causing bacterias etc etc. Is this behaviour by default or slider does not functions at all , I am using computer as a limited user.

As every one knows Nis installs itself as rootkit in drivers folder.something was preventing startup some how with the help of BartPE copy of registry were restored from windows\repair folder and system was rebooted sucessfully however when i tried to restore copies of registries from systemsnapshot folder my computer could be started for hrs it continued on splash screen forever changed to old method again and reached desktop but could not use the system restore feature now i am writing to you, you will be thinking we satrted with a problem of IE7 and landed here, anyway i had decided that it will be in my intrest to download the tools froms symantec site and run it ,and the see the result I will post after running of that tool > Was NIS 2008 fully disabled prior to installing WinXP SP3? > [quoted text clipped - 63 lines] > >>> Is this behaviour by default or slider does not functions at all , I am > >>> using computer as a limited user.
