My Privacy setting it set for "Custom" ...
and I also have it set to "prompt" for both first and third party cookies. Will this work, or should I change it to "medium"?
AS for the other question, I am referring to the document which you recommended I read on How I got INfected in the First Place by Tony Klein. At the end of that document, there is a site you can go to called "Jason Levine's Browser Security Tests." I am specifically referring to the "Javascript Clipboard Access Test," which apparently shows if another server can access my clipboard. It recommends that I locate a button under the scripting section in Settings under Tools, Internet Options, Security, Custom Level, called "Allow Paste Operations via script." But my browser doesn't have that option. The closest option I can find to it reads, "Allow Porgrammatic clipboard access." I set it to "prompt." My browser also has an option entitled,"Allow websites to prompt for information using scripted windows." This one is enabled.
