Internet Explorer 7 Security Plans
Sunday 19 February 2006
Microsoft have unveiled plans to improve the security of their next browser, Internet Explorer 7.
Rather than having to remember lots of different user IDs and passwords when logging in to web sites, users can create a few 'InfoCards' for different situations that store particular information such as name, e-mail address, and credit card numbers.
In another step to improve security when browsing, there will also be a 'protected mode' area in Windows Vista to prevent malicious code infecting a PC through Internet Explorer.
