On February 15, 2005 at the RSA Conference in San Francisco, Microsoft Chairman announced that Microsoft was planning a new version of Internet Explorer that would run on Windows XP. Both he and, General Manager of the Internet Explorer team, cited needed security improvements as the primary reason for the new version.
The first beta of IE7 was released on July 27, 2005 for technical testing, and a first public preview version of Internet Explorer 7 (Beta 2 preview: Pre-Beta 2 version) was released on January 31, 2006.

With this version, Internet Explorer was renamed from Microsoft Internet Explorer to Windows Internet Explorer as part of Microsoft's rebranding of components that are included with Windows. Internet Explorer 7 introduces the with which it is tightly integrated and can subscribe to and feeds, synchronize and update them on a schedule and display them with its built-in style sheet.
Version 7 is intended to defend users from as well as deceptive or malicious software, and it also features full user control of ActiveX and better security framework, including not being integrated as much with Windows as previous versions, thereby increasing security. Unlike previous versions, the Internet Explorer is not hosted in the Windows Explorer process, but rather it runs in its own process. It also includes bug fixes, enhancements to its support for web standards, with tab preview and management, a multiple-engine search box, a web feeds reader, support (IDN), and antiphishing filter. On October 5, 2007, Microsoft removed the 'genuine software' validation before install, which means that all versions of Windows, whether able to pass validation or not, are able to install the. The integrated search box supports.
On Windows Vista, Internet Explorer operates in a special ', that runs the browser in a security sandbox that has no WRITE access to the rest of the operating system or file system. When running in Protected Mode, IE7 is a low integrity process; it cannot gain write access to files and registry keys outside of the low-integrity portions of a user's profile. This feature aims to mitigate problems whereby newly discovered flaws in the browser (or in Add-Ons hosted inside it) allowed crackers to subversively install software on the user's computer (typically spyware). Usability and accessibility. Sites presenting are trusted. The address bar turns red when the certificate presented by a secure site has some problems.
In that case navigation to the site is blocked by default, and can only be accessed after the user explicitly confirms the navigation. IE7 includes support for (EV). When sites present an EV certificate the address bar is shown in green. New Group Policy's Administrative Templates (.adm files) for IE7 are loaded automatically onto the Domain Controller when a Group Policy is opened from a workstation where IE7 has been installed. These new administrative templates allow for controlling the Anti-Phishing filter state, for example. Reset Internet Explorer settings Deletes all temporary files, disables browser add-ons, and resets all the changed settings to factory settings. It can be used if the browser is in an unusable state.
Microsoft has addressed security issues in two distinct ways within Windows Vista:, which forces a user to confirm any action that could affect the stability or security of the system even when logged in as an administrator, and 'Protected-mode IE', which runs the web browser process with much lower permissions than the user. The first vulnerability exclusive to Internet Explorer 7 was posted after 6 days. On January 12, 2016 when the new Microsoft Lifecycle Support policy for Internet Explorer went into effect, became the only remaining supported for IE7. After which support continued on until WEPOS reached on April 12, 2016; Making the April 2016 security update the last ever public update for IE7. Phishing filter Some users have criticised the filter for being too easy to circumvent.
One successful method of bypassing Internet Explorer's Phishing Filter has been reported by redirecting a blacklisted web page to another, non-blacklisted page, using a. Until the new page is blocked as well, the attack can remain active. This flaw means that phishers can keep links from previous emails functioning by simply moving to a new server when their original web page is blacklisted and adding a redirect. This has been criticised as doubly serious as the presence of a phishing filter may lull users into a false sense of security when the filter can be bypassed. Phishing filter went on to be developed into and renamed Safety Filter and then SmartScreen by Microsoft, during the development of.
Standards support. Acid2 reference output Internet Explorer 7 adds support for in, as well as minor improvements to, and support. Microsoft's stated goal with version 7 was to fix the most significant bugs and areas which caused the most trouble for developers, however full compatibility with standards was postponed. Internet Explorer 7 additionally features an update to the API. The new version has better support for, and handles hexadecimal literals in the IPv6 address.
It also includes better support for and compression, so that communication with a web server can be compressed and thus will require less data to be transferred. Internet Explorer Protected Mode support in WinInet is exclusive to Windows Vista. Although Internet Explorer 7 is more compliant than previous versions, according to all figures it remains the least standards-compliant compared to other major browsers of the period. It does not pass the or the tests, two designed by the to verify CSS compliance. In a 2008 article, said that lack of support in Internet Explorer was responsible for holding back the widespread adoption by webmasters of several new open technology standards, specifically scalable vector graphics supported elsewhere since 2001.
