With Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 your Internet Explorer's Security Zone for
the Internet is stuck on High and the process of adding sites to the trusted
zone can be a hassle. You can use the "Apply Internet Explorer Enhanced
Security Configuration to Specific Users" step in the KB which allows the
administrators to lower it.

We have found a simpler way by using IE Power Tweaks Web Accessories, it
adds the "Add to Trusted Zone" and "Add to Restricted Zone" under Tools on
the IE Menu.

NTBugtraq Editor's Note:

Most viruses these days use spoofed email addresses. As such, using an Anti-Virus product which automatically notifies the perceived sender of a message it believes is infected may well cause more harm than good. Someone who did not actually send you a virus may receive the notification and scramble their support staff to find an infection which never existed in the first place. Suggest such notifications be disabled by whomever is responsible for your AV, or at least that the idea is considered.
