You don’t have to do anything as such because the Internet Explorer 9 have directly got the feature that helps in avoiding different site to get access to the codes so as to compromise the security and boost some kind of a threat for us.

    The Cross-Site Scripting ( XSS) Filter analyzes how websites interrelate, and when it recognizes a approaching attack from some kind of a virus as such, so it will involuntarily block the script code that is set to be designed from the website. When this happens, you will see a message in the Notification bar that informs you that the webpage was customized to assist guard your privacy and security. So this is something which is very important and I think will surely help you in adding some kind of a security to your system.

    The cross-site scripting attacks are a major online threats and are designed to exploit the vulnerability of Web sites you visit. Attacks of this kind undermine legitimate websites with malicious content capable of capturing data inputs and record the login information and password. If the login information and password are intercepted, your personal information may be at risk. In Internet Explorer 9 provides a filter XSS (cross-site scripting) can detect these types of attacks. If you are identified vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer dangerous scripts are disabled. For maximum protection, the filter cross-site scripting is enabled by default so you will have to need not worry about anything.

    When you talk about the XSS, it is a security vulnerability that threatens virtually every Internet user risk. Especially in forums and blogs, but also in online-based applications such as Google documents and spreadsheets are discovered almost continuously XSS vulnerabilities. Cross-site scripting the abbreviation for this is XSS and not by the obvious as CSS, because CSS is already allocated as an abbreviation for Cascading Style Sheets is simply said that an attacker script code in variable ranges on a website or a web application at one point fits and we carry out when this should not really be possible or where the input is not properly verified by the browser and displayed in a trusted context for the user.

    XSS attacks can be made by any of a browser interpretable script language. Most likely to use Javascript, but also VB-Script/ASP.net or active script the scripting language of Flash are even possible. You can take for example the JavaScript which should theoretically always be specified with type = "text / javascript" or language = "javascript" the exact script language. If it fails, however, explicitly specifying the scripting language, so browsers will by default assume that this is Javascript. Typing this text into an unprotected entry field should then submit the form a pop-up with the text 'XSS hole exploited cold' rise.
