Microsoft security zone are explained as-

Security Zones are security settings for websites that you may open with Internet Explorer.

These settings can be set to High, Medium, Medium-low, or Low. They can also set to a custom configuration by the user.

By modifying security zone settings, you can limit what websites your computer can access and what type of information can be dowloaded from the websites.

For example, you may choose to authorize all downloads from one site, while choosing not to allow any downloads from another.

The first website would be set to a "Trusted" zone, while the other website would be marked as a "Restricted" zone. Other settings include ActiveX limitations, the ability to send nonencrypted data, allowing scripts to run, and automatic logon.

To modify your computer's security zones, first open Internet Explorer. Then select "Internet Options" from the "Tools" menu. Click the "Security" tab and you will see the current security zone settings.

well, Security Zones are security settings for websites that you may open with Internet Explorer. These settings can be set to High, Medium, Medium-low, or Low. They can also set to a custom configuration by the user.

Internet Explorer includes five predefined zones: Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted Sites, Restricted Sites, and My Computer.

You can configure the My Computer zone (which contains files on your local computer) only from the Microsoft Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK); these settings are not available in the browser interface. Administrators should use the default settings for this zone unless your organization has a specific requirement. Reduced security settings can result in security risk, whereas increased security settings can reduce functionality.

Types of Security Zones:

You can set the security options that you want for each zone, and then add or remove Web sites from the zones, depending on your level of trust in a Web site.

Internet Zone:

This zone contains Web sites that are not on your computer or on your local intranet, or that are not already assigned to another zone. The default security level is Medium.

Local Intranet Zone:

By default, the Local Intranet zone contains all network connections that were established by using a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path, and Web sites that bypass the proxy server or have names that do not include periods (for example, http://local), as long as they are not assigned to either the Restricted Sites or Trusted Sites zone. The default security level for the Local Intranet zone is set to Medium (Internet Explorer 4) or Medium-low (Internet Explorer 5 and 6). Be aware that when you access a local area network (LAN) or an intranet share, or an intranet Web site by using an Internet Protocol (IP) address or by using a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), the share or Web site is identified as being in the Internet zone instead of in the Local intranet zone.

Types of Security Zones
Internet Zone
This zone contains Web sites that are not on your computer or on your local intranet, or that are not already assigned to another zone. The default security level is Medium.
Local Intranet Zone
By default, the Local Intranet zone contains all network connections that were established by using a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path, and Web sites that bypass the proxy server or have names that do not include periods (for example, http://local), as long as they are not assigned to either the Restricted Sites or Trusted Sites zone.

303650 (http://support.microsoft.com/ kb/30 3650/) Intranet site is identified as an Internet site when you use an FQDN or an IP address
Trusted Sites Zone
This zone contains Web sites that you trust as safe (such as Web sites that are on your organization's intranet or that come from established companies in whom you have confidence). When you add a Web site to the Trusted Sites zone, you believe that files you download or that you run from the Web site will not damage your computer or data. By default, there are no Web sites that are assigned to the Trusted Sites zone, and the security level is set to Low.
Restricted Sites Zone
This zone contains Web sites that you do not trust. When you add a Web site to the Restricted Sites zone, you believe that files that you download or run from the Web site may damage your computer or your data. By default, there are no Web sites that are assigned to the Restricted Sites zone, and the security level is set to High.
The Restricted Sites zone contains Web sites that are not on your computer or on your local intranet, or that are not already assigned to another zone. The default security level is Medium.
