Q 10. You work as a Network Administrator for McRoberts Inc. The company has a Windows 2003 Active Directory-based network. All client computers on the network run Windows Vista Ultimate. Internet Explorer 7 is installed by default with the operating system. Which of the following features does Internet Explorer 7 support? Pop-up Blocker, Zooming, Phishing Filter, Virus Blocker, or Multiple browser tab?

Internet Explorer 7 supports the following advanced features:

  • Pop-up Blocker: A pop-up is a small Web browser window that appears on top of the Web site you are viewing. Pop-up windows often open as soon as you visit a Web site and are usually created by advertisers. Pop-up Blocker is a feature in Internet Explorer that limits or blocks most pop-ups. A user can choose the level of blocking he prefers from blocking all pop-up windows to allowing the pop-ups that the user wants to see. When Pop-up Blocker is turned on, the Information bar displays a message.
  • Zooming: Internet Explorer 7.0 provides the facility of zooming a Web page. Zooming affects the whole page at a time, including both images and text.
  • Phishing Filter: Phishing Filter is a feature in Internet Explorer that helps in detecting phishing Web sites. Whenever a user visits a Web site, Phishing Filter compares the address of the Web site with a list of sites reported to Microsoft as legitimate. This list is stored on the user's computer locally. Further, it helps the user to analyze a site to know whether it is a phishing Web site. If it suspects that it is not a phishing site, it sends the Web site address to Microsoft with the users consent for further checking against a frequently updated list of reported phishing Web sites. If the address is found in the list of reported phishing Web sites, Internet Explorer displays a warning Web page and a notification on the Address bar. Based on this information, the user can continue or close the page. In case the Web site contains characteristics common to a phishing site but is not on the list, Internet Explorer notifies in the Address bar that it might possibly be a phishing Web site.
  • Multiple Browser tab: Internet Explorer 7 provides the facility to visit more than one Web page in a single window through multiple browser tabs. Each tab contains a separate Web page.

No such feature as Virus Blocker is available with Internet Explorer 7.
