7 things you can do to make Internet Explorer more secure

Here's a few tips on how to secure Microsoft's browser. I tell my students that when you have a window that pops up telling you that you have a security issue... if you click on the link to scan your computer, abandon hope all ye who enter. Performing that action will infect your computer. Only click on the X in the upper right-hand corner to close the window.

"How well Internet Explorer—or any Web browser, for that matter—protects against attacks and malware greatly depends on whether you keep it up to date and have the right security settings. Here's how to take the proper security measures with Internet Explorer 9 and 10."

The better you learn the security functions, the better you can adjust them to your own browsing habits."
