I have Win98SE and IE6 all with latest patches, as @ 08/06/2004 on my computer, I am wondering if any can tell me how to secure IE6 to stop pop ups and all malicious scripting, Active X control and programs downloading without my consent etc. I have seen some free pop up programs on the net but I wonder if by installing them I don't creative another problem while to trying solve this problem.(i.e. they may contain adaware. spyware or other nasties. I have been told to set my security to HIGH in IE6 but also been told this affects your browsing as pages won't load properly. A friend of mine has Opera 7.0 as his browser and he felt secure until I asked him how did he know he had all the latest updates. He could not answer.
Thanks.
