Web-based programs may attempt to install malicious software on a system. Ensuring users are notified if a web-based program attempts to install software allows them to refuse the installation.
The default behavior is for Internet Explorer to warn users and select whether to allow or refuse installation when a web-based program attempts to install software on the system.
To fix this, configure the policy value for
Computer Configuration
|_ Administrative Templates
|_ Windows Components
|_ Windows Installer
|_ "Prevent Internet Explorer security prompt for Windows Installer scripts" to "Not Configured" or "Disabled".
