Answer
this is just a security feature of IE to stop viruses from accessing your computer, even if you have accessed the page locally from your hard disk. I have the same problem with IE when I do web dev.
For a quick fix, change the file extension to HTA rather than HTML, eg. index.hta, this basically bypasses IE's security features.
For more info, google for 'IE security zones'.
Microsoft also had to change the way Flash worked with IE, due to patent infringements, you can see the problem a lot when you have to 'click to activate' a flash object, that's because of changes MS had to do to IE to get around the patent infringement.
Optionally, you could test in Firefox, which has a different security model to IE.

A virus prevents me from viewing my yahoo email?
Susan A
When I try to access my yahoo email, I get a "high risk" virus alert saying the w32.feebs virus has been detected, cannot be repaired, and access has been denied.
What can I do to fix this so that I can access my email?

I just started having that same problem about an hour or so ago as well. It (so far) only happens when I try to open Yahoo! Mail Beta, and -- judging by all the other questions and answers that have started popping up on Answers in the last 5 or 6 hours -- is connected to Yahoo! Mail Beta specifically. Do a search here on Answers for W32.Feebs, and you'll find a lot more info on the problem.
According to most of the major online anti-virus sites (and a few I hadn't even heard of), W32.Feebs spreads in two ways:
(1) Through e-mails disguised as security warnings of some sort, using random security-related names and subject lines. It gives you a log-in name and a password (for some reason I haven't figured out yet) and instructs you to open the attached file. The attached file is an .HTA file.
(2) Through files obtained from peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks (Limewire, Bearshare, torrent sites, etc). The file looks like a cracked version of one of several popular computer programs, and usually has something in the filename like "full version + crack" or something.
According to the anti-virus sites, opening one of these is the only way to be infected by this worm. Supposedly, it can't execute itself. The user has to actually attempt to run the file.
One thing that makes it difficult to find on your computer: Apparently the virus uses rootkit functionality to hide its files, registry subkeys, etc. on your computer. I.e., if you go looking for the specific files on your system, you won't find them. I don't know if that means that your anti-virus program won't find them either (still looking up that info), but Norton's site says that the virus alters or deletes some of the files that Norton uses to operate correctly, so they suggest re-installing Norton. I'm waiting to do that until we can figure out if this is a real virus...
That being said, a lot of people on here are suddenly reporting this same problem today, and, in pretty much every case, it happens when they try to access Yahoo! Mail Beta (the regular Yahoo! Mail doesn't seem to have the same problem). According to everyone else on here, to access your e-mail all you have to do is switch back to the regular Yahoo! e-mail, and stop using the Yahoo! Mail Beta. If you want to be extra safe, go to your internet options (under Tools, if you're using IE) in your browser and delete your browser history and temporary internet files.
Also, one of the other answerers on here said that he'd talked to Yahoo! tech support, and they were working on the problem on their end. He didn't go into tons of detail, but it sounded like THEY have the virus and are currently trying to get rid of it. I don't know if that's true, because I'm reporting second hand info (so don't hold me to it), but it's worth investigating further.
From what I'm hearing, I'm hoping this is a false alarm resulting from some sort of miscommunication between Yahoo! Mail Beta and the anti-virus progs. Or that it's a problem on Yahoo's servers and not actually infecting our computers. Either way. All I know is that, if Yahoo! Beta infected my computer, I will be very angry...
When you get the warning, does it say that the infected file is in \Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\(some long string of numbers and letters), and that it can't repair this file because access to it is denied? Then, once you click OK, it says it resolves and repairs it? And do you have Norton (most people who are having this problem seem to). Just wondering if we're all having the exact same problem...
Anyway, I'm going to keep digging (and scanning), and will add whatever info here I can find.
Good luck! Hopefully this is just a false alarm...
