Internet Explorer 10: blocking malicious websites to maintain network security

The IE 10 browser comes with a SmartScreen filter to help users block malicious websites and maintain network security. In addition, IE10 supports XSS cross-site scripting filtering, reputation applications, private browsing, tracking protection, and detection and repair. IE10 allows users to run personal tags to prevent the existence of cached data in the browser, including historical records and cookies, which greatly improves users' privacy browsing.

Procedure:

SmartScreen filter

IE10 adopts the SmartScreen Filter, a powerful security protection mechanism in IE9. It defends global netizens against 3 million malicious attacks every day, with an effective defense rate of up to 99%, it compares with Microsoft's massive known malicious website database in real time and immediately generates a warning to help you stay away from the threat of phishing websites. In IE10, it is more perfectly integrated with the download manager, this effectively prevents you from downloading and installing malware, making the Internet more reliable, safer, and more secure!



The SmartScreen filter of IE10 is enabled by default. To confirm or enable it again, click the "tools" button on the right of IE10 to go to the "security" menu, select "enable SmartScreen Filter.





Windows 8 adds the SmartScreen filter protection to the Windows Shell. Therefore, users can download the filter in any way to avoid malicious software attacks.

Protection against attacks aimed at exploiting vulnerabilities on websites

"Excellent" websites may have security vulnerabilities that allow malicious websites to steal your data or simulate your operations. XSS filters can automatically prevent certain attack types. IE10 can use this filter to protect users. In addition, IE10 uses declarative security to make websites more self-protected, this is similar to IE10's new HTML5 Sandbox support.

Protection against attacks aimed at using browsers or operating systems

Automatic updates ensure that the latest updates are installed on your computer. This protects IE10 from security issues that have been fixed. IE9 has added the memory protection feature, making it more difficult for malicious programs to exploit some types of vulnerabilities. Now IE10 has also enhanced these features. At the same time, IE10 adds a new protection layer named "enhanced protection mode.

Enhanced protection mode

The protection mode was added to IE7 for Windows Vista. It is an in-depth defense function that helps prevent attackers from installing software or modifying system settings when running attack code. This is an extra layer of protection that will lock some system parts that your browser typically does not need. For example, a browser usually does not need to modify system settings or write the "document" folder. The protection mode is based on the principle of least privilege, that is, to reduce the functionality of Internet Explorer and the functionality that can be used to attack code.
