Active X controls

[Mart]

When I try to download from some sites like Pest Patrol or DriversHQ I get a
message; "Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls
on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly."
In fact, the download fails.
What should my settings be?

Martynz,

You may add the sites to Internet Explorer 'Trusted Zone' (only if you trust the website/author) till download it complete and then revert the setting back.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

and:

SpyBot-S&D
http://security.kolla.de/

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
