The web browser uses Internet Explorer to display web pages.  Within the internet options of Internet Explorer are security measures to limit the actions that a web site can perform on your computer. These security measures are provided within three security zones, the Restricted Zone, the Trusted Zone, and the Internet Zone.

 

Using the Actions | Security menu action in the Web activity, you can add the current site to one of these security zones, to limit the actions that the web site can perform.

Adding a web site to the Restricted Zone will normally provide very restricted access to your computer, such as restricting ActiveX or Java scripts from running.  The Internet Zone is used for most internet sites with medium restrictions, and the Trusted Zone is usually used only for web sites within a company network, or self contained sites which do not contain external links to other sites in more restricted security zones.
