I'm posting this in hopes it will help anyone else that is getting the
"This object has been blocked" error.
I started getting it a couple weeks ago whenever I clicked on a link
that lead to a download, i.e. a PDF, ZIP, etc.
I searched google and found others posting that they had the same
problem but I never found a post that explained why it was happening.
In my case it turned out to be ZoneAlarm Pro(Ver. 3.7). In the Control
Center, under Privacy, the item "Mobile Code Control" was checked.
Un-checking it resolved the issue.
I don't know if that had been checked all along and something else
changed (an XP update?) that caused it to start seeing those download
requests as invalid or if at some point I inadvertently checked it.
The rest of my ZA settings are set High (Cookie CControl, Firewall)
and altering them had no affect on the error. It was only the Mobile
Code item.
I hope this helps someone. And of course, YMMV.
