  Internet Explorer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Internet Explorer is the most widely used web browser today, although since 2004 it has lost some usage share to other browsers.
Internet Explorer 3 was the first major browser with CSS support, and it could handle the PICS system for content metadata.
Internet Explorer uses DOCTYPE sniffing to choose between "quirks mode" (renders similarly to older versions of MSIE) and standards mode (renders strictly according to W3C's specifications) for HTML and CSS rendering.

 Intrusion Prevention, Vulnerability Assessment & Network Security   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
On Windows 2003 Internet Explorer, this vulnerability is noted as being "moderate" rather than "critical." This is because of Windows 2003's "Enhanced Security Configuration Mode", in which Microsoft sets the "Disable ActiveX" option in Internet Explorer's Security Properties by default.
What Internet Explorer should be doing in this case is not loading the unsafe document at all, or it should prompt the user with a severe warning about this file, with the default option being to save the file to disk.
Microsoft was notified and has released a patch for this vulnerability.
