White Page Report from MCAfee basically says
"“Protect Internet Explorer favorites and settings”
Intention: This rule is designed to prevent modification of Microsoft Internet Explorer configurations and files by any process not listed in the rule’s exclusion list. A common tactic of malware is to change the browser’s start page, and install favorites. This rule protects against certain start page Trojans, adware, and spyware that modify browser settings.
Risks: There really aren’t any drawbacks to enabling this rule, as it simply blocks processes from making changes to favorites and settings in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
ID and Name in Host IPS:
