I have a machine with Home XP and IE 6.0...we have been
unable to get into any secure web sites...The message
continues to read "The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable.
The Web site might be experiencing technical
difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser
settings. " and then sometimes the error mentions an
Active X issue....We have tried to change every single
setting we know, including setting the defalts etc...we
can get into some web sites but as soon as there is any
type of security issues we cannot get in...There seem's
to be some security issue that won't release itself deep
in the depths of the computer..THanx Ken

activex controls are a common way for drive-by spyware and browser
hijackers to install themselves on your computer and spy on you or take
control of your browser. It is a good idea to have some restrictions on
activex and java scripting in the Internet zone. Either set your script
permissions to prompt or put the affected web site in the Trusted zone.
If you have installed and run a spyware preventer program, then it may
be blocking activex controls itself.

To use secure sites one needs a passport,go to
