"Trusted Site" Annoyance
Hi Fred: I have a very short list of trusted sites in Internet Explorer--which I usually only use on MS's web site. But IE exhibits a weird behavior when I go to the trusted sites--it tells me that I'm going to a trusted site and asks if that is OK.
This seems to me to be a moronic behavior. IF the site is trusted, why should IE ask me about it? Is there any way to turn this stupid reminder off?
Keep up the good work and thanks for the newsletter. It is a constant source of good information. Regards, Henry S. Winokur
Actually, it's a good thing, Henry, because one of the ways malware can mess you up is to insert a hostile site into your Trusted zone. If the malware then causes you to go to that site, you'll do so with your defenses down, and may not even know it.
Having a final check on entering a trusted site helps ensure that you really know the site, and in fact do trust it.
