    Strange behaviour when using IE7 on Vista

    Hi,

    This may not be the right place for this question but I could only find IE7
    in a non-Englilsh newsgroup. If there is one please point me towards it -
    there are none listed in Windows Mail.



    Now to the question - I put security 'Tools-Internet Options-Securiy and
    Privacy' on high for all of them. Noe, in all previous versions of IE if I
    did that I would not be able to browse the Web. But in IE 7 these settings
    to High do not seem to do anything.

    Am I doing somthing wrong!!

    Set the Firewall to BLOCK port 80 for that or all Users.

    First of all, How? I have set it to block all incoming connections (Control
    Panel - Windows firewall - General - On - Block all incoming connections)
    and I can still browse the web.

    Secondly, what purpose do these Internet Options - Security settings serve,
    if they are allowing me to browse. I know in IE6 and prior to that, as far
    as I can remember, one would set the security to High and then add sites to
    exceptions list.

    Is that a step forward!!!

    Did you close IE and reopen it?
    Were the settings still on high?

    If you want better answers for IE7 questions please see:

    Yes settings were on High. The machine has been started a few times,
    settings are on High and still everything gets through. Thanks for the
    ponters I shall have a look at them.
