Security restrictions are applied per zone; all the sites in a zone are subject to the restrictions.</p> <p>Internet Explorer 6 SP2 onwards uses the <i>Attachment Execution Service</i> of Microsoft Windows to mark executable files downloaded from the Internet as being potentially unsafe. Accessing files marked as such will prompt the user to make an explicit trust decision to execute the file, as executables originating from the Internet can be potentially unsafe. This helps in preventing the accidental installation of malware.</p> <p>Internet Explorer 7 introduced the phishing filter, which restricts access to <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Phishing?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Phishing">phishing</a> sites unless the user overrides the decision.

Downloads are also checked to see if they are known to be malware-infected.</p> <p>In Windows Vista, Internet Explorer by default runs in what is called <i>Protected Mode</i>, where the privileges of the browser itself are severely restricted—it cannot make any system-wide changes. One can optionally turn this mode off, but this is not recommended. This also effectively restricts the privileges of any add-ons. As a result, even if the browser or any add-on is compromised, the damage the security breach can cause is limited.</p> <p>Patches and updates to the browser are released periodically and made available through the Windows Update service, as well as through Automatic Updates. Although security patches continue to be released for a range of platforms, most feature additions and security infrastructure improvements are only made available on operating systems that are in Microsoft's mainstream support phase.</p> <p>On December 16, 2008, <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Trend_Micro?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Trend Micro">Trend Micro</a> recommended users switch to rival browsers until an emergency patch was released to fix a potential security risk which "could allow outside users to take control of a person's computer and steal their passwords."

market share of Internet Explorer </figcaption> </figure> <p>The adoption rate of Internet Explorer seems to be closely related to that of Microsoft Windows, as it is the default web browser that comes with Windows. Since the integration of Internet Explorer 2.0 with Windows 95 OSR 1 in 1996, and especially after version 4.0's release in 1997, the adoption was greatly accelerated: from below 20% in 1996, to about 40% in 1998, and over 80% in 2000. This made Microsoft the winner in the infamous '<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/First_browser_war?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="First browser war">first browser war</a>' against Netscape. <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Netscape_Navigator?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Netscape Navigator">Netscape Navigator</a> was the dominant browser during 1995 and until 1997, but rapidly lost share to IE starting in 1998, and eventually slipped behind in 1999. The integration of IE with Windows led to a lawsuit by <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/AOL?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="AOL">AOL</a>, Netscape's owner, accusing Microsoft of unfair competition. The infamous case was eventually won by AOL but by then it was too late, as Internet Explorer had already become the dominant browser.</p> <p>Internet Explorer peaked during 2002 and 2003, with about 95% share. Its first notable competitor after beating Netscape was Firefox from <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Mozilla?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Mozilla">Mozilla</a>, which itself was an offshoot from Netscape.</p> <p>Firefox 1.0 had surpassed Internet Explorer 5 in early 2005, with Firefox 1.0 at 8 percent market share.<sup id="cite_ref-116" class="reference"><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Internet_Explorer?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-116"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>113<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p> <p>Approximate usage over time based on various usage share counters averaged for the year overall, or for the fourth quarter, or for the last month in the year depending on availability of reference.<sup id="cite_ref-nashare_117-0" class="reference"><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Internet_Explorer?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-nashare-117"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>114<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-zdnetearly_118-0" class="reference"><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Internet_Explorer?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-zdnetearly-118"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>115<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-thecountermonth_119-0" class="reference"><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Internet_Explorer?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-thecountermonth-119"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>116<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Thecounter.com_120-0" class="reference"><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Internet_Explorer?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Thecounter.com-120"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>117<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-bhn_121-0" class="reference"><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Internet_Explorer?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-bhn-121"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>118<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-wbs_122-0" class="reference"><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Internet_Explorer?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-wbs-122"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>119<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p> <p>According to <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/StatCounter?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="StatCounter">StatCounter</a>, Internet Explorer's market share fell below 50% in September 2010.<sup id="cite_ref-123" class="reference"><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Internet_Explorer?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-123"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>120<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In May 2012, Google Chrome overtook Internet Explorer as the most used browser worldwide, according to <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/StatCounter?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="StatCounter">StatCounter</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-124" class="reference"><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Internet_Explorer?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-124"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>121<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"> <h3 id="Industry_adoption">Industry adoption</h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Internet_Explorer&action=edit&section=28&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Industry adoption" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Browser_Helper_Object?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Browser Helper Object">Browser Helper Objects</a> are also used by many <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Web_search_engine?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Web search engine">search engines</a> companies and third parties for creating add-ons that access their services, such as search engine toolbars.
