Symantec Security Check

[Guest]

I'm trying to allow Symantec to check my system for bugs. Upon arrival to the
virus scan page, the site tells me, quote: "Unable to run Virus Detection. In
order to run Virus Detection you must be using Microsoft Internet Explorer
5.0 or higher with ActiveX and Scripting enabled."

I have ie 6.0, and my ActiveX and Scripting are enabled.

suggestions?

================================
URL's may get chopped up and if so, will have
to be copied and pasted into the Address window
of Internet Explorer:

My suggestions:
1. Get rid of Norton (nothing but trouble) by uninstalling it -
2. Replace it with ZoneAlarm Security Suite:

If you don't like that idea, my next suggestion is
that the next time you have a Norton problem,
which no doubt you will, look for an answer
at http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/consumer.html

I did and found this:

Upon further review of your post, I guess I did not
realize that apparently, you are trying to use Symantec's
ONLINE virus scanner, and may not have their program installed.

Sorry that I did not catch onto that before (just woke up) -

If the Symantec fix did not work, here are some other
online virus scanners that you can try:

Panda ActiveScan

TrendMicro Housecall Anti Virus Scan

McAfee Security - FreeScan
