When you visit a secure Web site, your browser sets up
an encrypted connection with the Web site. By default,
all accounts can use secure connections. If you want to
ensure that users are not sending private information to
secure Web sites, you can disable secure Web
connections.
If you disable secure Web connections, your browser will
not encrypt any information that it sends. You should
only disable secure Web connections if you are
protecting your personal data in the Private Information
list.
To disable or enable secure Web connections
1 In the main window, double-click Privacy Control.
2 In the Privacy Control window, in the Privacy Control
settings for drop-down list, select the account that you
want to change.
3 Click Custom Level.
4 In the Customize Privacy Settings dialog box, check
or uncheck Enable Secure Connections (https).
