    Wink How to Secure IE8 with IEController

    How do I secure Internet Explorer with IEController?

    There are plenty of schools of thought on this, but ultimately there are situations where IE is a must-use application. This could be per your company policy or even due to specific Web-site needs. Regardless, there are times when you have to (or want to) use Internet Explorer. For those instances, you will want to make sure that IE is operating as safe as possible. Of course the definition of “safe” is very fluid. Thankfully there are tools available that allow for such fluidity, while still helping to secure a very popular Web browser.

    This blog post is also available in the PDF format in a TechRepublic Download.

    IEController is a handy tool that allows you to:

    * Execute/monitor access
    * Control the execution of ActiveX controls
    * Control the execution of scripts, programs
    * Control requests to restrict and control files
    * Prevent ads
    * Log data traffic

    .....

    Well - consider the fact you're already using IE...

    At least it'll comply with standards more, not to mention the speed of its JavaScript VM has greatly improved from other IE versions.

    When IE8 was released all the other browser where already way more secure and better in many ways.

    Microsoft's trying to make IE comply with Web standards!

    That's a step ahead.

    they have more money to wipe their bums with than toilet storage space for toilet paper. Before they were like oh so what we are losing a little bit of users but now oh sh1t wtf are we gona do cos every1 is sh1ting on us.

    So they have no choice but to make it at least better than others (try to anyway). their rep is on the line. And Im sure they will be able to do it one day even if they hae to buy FF to do it LOL

    If Microsoft buys Mozilla I think Firefox will lose half of it's users..

    That article is ten years old, and it shows. For example, setting an invalid proxy does break Windows Update now, as well as Java, Chrome and many other programs that use the same proxy settings.

    Microsoft finally started doing things right after Internet Explorer 9, so you shouldn't avoid that browser like the plague now. And if you must keep on using XP or other Windows systems for which new versions are not available, it's best to use nLite and remove the browser and MSHTML engine entirely.
