Check to block Java applets. Java applets are
small programs embedded in web pages that
enable dynamic functionality of the page. A
malicious applet can be used to compromise or
infect computers.
Enabling this setting blocks Java applets from
being downloaded. Click Auto to automatically
block Java, or click Manual and enter a specific
port on which to block Java.
Check to block cookies. Cookies are used to store
session information by websites that usually
require login. However, several websites use
cookies to store tracking information and browsing
habits. Enabling this option filters out cookies from
being created by a website.
Many websites require that cookies be accepted in
order for the site to be accessed properly. Blocking
cookies can cause many websites to not function
properly.
Click Auto to automatically block cookies, or click
Manual and enter a specific port on which to block
cookies.
Check to block ActiveX content. Similar to Java
applets, ActiveX controls are installed on a
Windows computer while running Internet Explorer.
A malicious ActiveX control can be used to
compromise or infect computers.
Enabling this setting blocks ActiveX applets from
being downloaded.
Click Auto to automatically block ActiveX, or click
Manual and enter a specific port on which to block
ActiveX.
