One potential downside to securely configuring the Internet zone is that
some
web sites will not work properly until you add them to the Trusted sites
zone,
a process that some users find cumbersome and yet rewarding.

If you start to make extensive use of the Trusted sites and Restricted sites
zones, you might want to download IE Power Tweaks Web Accessories, a special
set of utilities from Microsoft, from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/default.mspx

This set of utilities will add two new menu options to the Tools menu in
Internet Explorer:
Add to Trusted Zone
Add to Restricted Zone
This makes adding sites that you want to the Trusted sites zone a cinch.
Once we're at a web site that we wish to add to the Trusted sites zone, we
can just use the Add to Trusted Zone menu option.
Although the IE Power Tweaks Web Accessories is billed as a tool for
Internet Explorer 5, it will work just fine on Internet Explorer 6 as well.

Keep your operating system and programs patched
You are strongly advised to apply all security-related patches for your
software as they become available.

You can use the Windows Update and Office Update sites to keep your system
up-to-date. Note that they work with Internet Explorer only. You may have to
lower your Internet security settings in order for them to function
correctly. Don't forget to set your security preferences to a higher level
again when you are done.
