Good reading from Microsoft Malware Protection Center : Malicious Proxy Auto-Config redirection
Reading view is a new feature in Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 8.1 that helps you focus on the main content of the Web page you want to read. Reading view is a way to experience just the article or blog post you want to read, without the distractions of related (or unrelated) content surrounding the story. Find an article you want to read, switch to reading view, and settle into a great reading experience. When you’re done, just exit reading view to continue browsing on the site.

Have you ever heard about IE Enhanced Protected Mode or Mark-of-the-Web (MOTW) ?
Well, if you encounter one of those problems you should :
- Opening IIS Failed Request Logs files (XML+XSL) from you local machine with IE result in a text page without formatting.
- Trying to access your local web server with the 127.0.0.1 ip (not localhost) or the real local ip of your computer with IE results in an error page.
You have to blame the IE Enhanced Protected Mode for those ‘problems’. Here’s two solutions :
1) Disable the Enhanced Protected Mode
- Open Internet Options
- click on the Advanced tab
- Unselect ‘Enable Enhanced Protected Mode’ in the Security Section
- Restart IE
2) Add you site to the Intranet Zone
- Open Internet Option
- Click on the Security tab
- Select the Intranet zone
- Click on the Sites button
- Click on the Advanced button
- Add the following address :
http://127.0.0.1 To allow access to your local web site about:internet To allow access to file with a MOTW (ex: IIS Failed Request Logs)
Personally I prefer option 2.
