Selectivity of ActiveX to access certain websites

[Jerome]

Hello

I have problems downloading specific software due to the
subject. For example: Rand McNally TripLink, House call
from Trend Micro (virus check of system through the
Internet) and just today I tried to download a virus
check of my system before loading my Norton anti virus
program (which is on the Symantec website) and received
the error message: "ActiveX setting will not allow
download". I follow the instruction for the settings
recommended for ActiveX and even sometimes remove all
restrictions but the result is always the same, i.
e., "Activex settings do not permit download to this
page". Most of the time (85%) I have no problems
downloading but when the problem arises there is no way
to get around it. I have done complete sweeps with "Ad-
Aware" and Spybot and the system is squeaky clean
including the registry. Thanks for any help on this
matter.

If you have a firewall or some other security, including ad blocking and
popup blocking software, try turning it off, clearing the IE cache (Open IE,
go to Tools, select Internet Options, on the General Tab, click Delete
Cookies, Delete Files, accept the option to delete all offline content and
click Delete History and try downloading again.

Be sure to turn the security features and software back on after the
download is complete.
