@Eric

The bars say "The page wanted to do SOMETHING(we won't tell you!). Do you want to let it do SOMETHING and see what will happen?"

How about international guidelines, so that Third Party developers can avoid making the mistakes that Microsoft seems to be committed to repeating? For example: http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2007/01/25/1526224.aspx

@glen: The security-related Information Bars are shown to prevent malicious content from infecting your computer.

If you view only content you trust on your local computer, click Tools / Internet Options / Advanced, scroll down to the Security section. Check "Allow active content to run from My Computer".

For attack surface reduction reasons, it's not recommended that you browse the web at large with that box checked.

Actually, for blocking/allowing JavaScript (don't even get me started with the "Active Content" moniker that caused half this mess in the first place), is there an options window like the one for cookies?

If not, can you please add one (backported to IE7) for:

- JavaScript

- ActiveX

- Java

Please, for the love of Pete, DO NOT group them together.

screenshot of the privacy dialog for cookies, that needs to be copied for JavaScript, and again for ActiveX, and Java.

I see that Microsoft is making new fans with IE7! *NOT*.

What is the fix to get the stupid security warning bar/popups to stop for a domain/IP that you specify.

In particular, localhost, 127.0.0.1, 192.168.100.x etc.

Thanks.

@Josh Stodola: Have you tried running IE7 without extensions? Buggy add-ons are the top source of problems. See http://enhanceie.com/ie/troubleshoot.asp for a step-by-step guide to finding the addon causing your issue.

Congratulations to you and your wife Dave!

And thanks to Team IE for the added flexibility.

Yo-ho-ho!

Oh yeah, I click an RSS feed and i get a blank white frozen screen for at least 30 seconds. Then all of a sudden everything appears. I should be getting paid to use this piece of garbage! Im not a Firefox/Opera fan either, I am all pro IE. I have always used it. Why did you release this crap?!
