Yes. I recently upgraded from Win98 to SE and upgraded to the new IEv6SP1, and was puzzled, until I realised that the "security" (a bit of a misnomer for Mickey$oft I agree!) settings were different in the new version.

A very few places such as Mudcat that I regularly visit, I have now entered into the "trusted" (I have already made my comment!) zone.

CarolC, you will need to do the same sort of "fiddle" (rather appropriate what!) with the Macafee stuff propbably as described for the IE stuff. In spite of being less impressed with Macafee than I used to be, having it is probably much better than no such firewalling etc stuff. I have no experience with Prox.
