Preventing downloading of unwanted exe files

M

Matclark

I just spent a fair bit of time removing some files which I think was
spyware.The source was an .exe file found in the Temporary Internet Files
folder. How do I prevent I.E. from downloading and opening of .exe files
without permission?
Thanks for any suggestions

Make sure programs cannot just download on your computer without your
permission. From the Internet Toolbar, go to Tools > Internet Options >
Advanced. Make sure "Enable Install On Demand (Internet Explorer)" and
"Enable Install On Demand (Other)" are unchecked.
