ActiveX misiries

Help! I cannot seem to use any online virus scanner.
Typically I get variations of the following message:
"You cannot access this page with your current browser
settings. Please make sure that you are running Internet
Explorer 5.01 or higher, with security settings that allow
you to:
Download signed ActiveX controls
Run ActiveX controls and plugins
Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting.
You can do this by choosing the "Medium" default level
under Tools | Internet Options | Security | Internet Zone.
See Internet Explorer help for more information".

The trouble is: My security levels ARE set to Medium! I
have even tried to set it to "low" to no avail.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!
I encounter this problem on other online installations -
with similar ActiveX type of messages.

Some virus/trojan and possibly malware can interfere with your option to
link to these sites.

Check it out.

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.
