changes the current security and privacy
levels in the Internet Explorer. It is first of all a convenient way to disable
script execution before surfing pages with many pop-up windows.
The toolbar defines three different security levels: Very High, High and Medium. High and medium are almost identical to the corresponding Microsoft security levels, which are called High, Medium, Medium-Low and Low.
Besides changing the security level the Security button changes the privacy level. The privacy level decides how cookies are handled. Cookies are disabled when the security level is set to Very High or High from the toolbar.
