While that would work quite well, unfortunately they also need to surf the web. (Email too.) Hence why I'd like to get them away from IE. Give them a browser they can use, but is less likely to be hijacked every time I leave their workplace. =/ Nice suggestion for locking down a local system however. =) I'm sure someone readng will benefit from it. -- Peace. ~G On Fri, 8 Oct 2004 21:26:46 +0200, Ansgar -59cobalt- Wiechers <bugtraq () planetcobalt net> wrote:

(The users really can't handle the spyware and such, no matter how hard I try to educate and prevent.) The only thing holding them back from switching is a proprietary ActiveX application that they use to interface with their data warehouse.I would try to lock down IE and limit access to localhost and the data warehouse host by setting the proxy to 127.0.0.1:9 except for localhost and the data warehouse host. These settings can be enforced through group policies or local policies (if you don't have a Windows 200[03] domain controller at hand). That way they could use IE for the data warehousing application, but not for surfing the web.
