The first step is to take is that make sure that the Protected mode is enable in the Internet Explorer. If you are the Windows vista and Windows 7 then the protected mode must be on as the internet explorer with these operating system are used as the sandbox. To make the enable the protected mode Go to the internet option from the tools menu and then click on the Security tab and then click on the Enable Protected mode. Thats it!!!!

Always use the Security level to the high which will give you the high security. TO make the security level high just raise the bar of the Security from the Internet tab. Also be sure that the site you are visiting don't have the ActiveX control as the main reason behind the Security hole is ActiveX control. So make the list of the site in the Trusted site tab so that the site you visit will be trusted. Thanks
