ActiveX

[Jim]

I get this message when I try to use QuickBooks -
"Your current secutiry settings prohibit running ActiveX
controls on this page".
Ive checked the settings on IE6.0 and they are set at the
default levels for both Internet (Medium) and Local
intranet (medium-low).
I'm using Windows XP and this is something that has just
cropped up recently as I had been able to see these pages
before... so what have I done? And how can I correct it?

Thanks for your advice.

JIM

Rule out parasites.

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

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.
