| 454993 | 2006-05-15 09:17:00 | I found a couple of virsuses in my Applicaction Data/Sun/Java /Deploment/Cache. I removed the virsuses, then did another full system scan and it reported no virsus. Just to be sure i thought i would try one of the many free online scans. Over the course of the day i have tried about half a dozen different scans and they all say the same sort of thing "Not allowing the application's ActiveX control to be downloaded" So the scan dosn't take place. I have been into internet options and set the zone to "allow" downloading and running of active X controls and also allowed scripting. but still no joy, I then set it to "prompt" still no joy, and it didnt even prompt me. I have turned off my firewall. I have IE6 Windows ME. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my java. Please can any one help :( |

| 454995 | 2006-05-15 22:46:00 | Have you tried resetting IE back to Default settings under the Advanced tab in Tools? You also need to be on the Medium security setting under the Security tab. Restart the browser after changing the settings and try again. Better still, do as pctek says and use Firefox or Mozilla. |

| 454998 | 2006-05-16 02:43:00 | No Opera? :p The online scans all require Internet Explorer to work, presumably due to the Active X, except for TrendMicro which can use Firefox or Mozilla as well as IE. I guess Opera is sewn up too tight for it to be an option. ;) |

Seems as though you have issues with IE though, which will require seeing to if they are causing problems . Perhaps try a repair of IE? |

| 455000 | 2006-06-01 08:39:00 | Update, I tried everything to fix this problem to no avail. I reformatted and now Active X works. But below is what one person has told me. Has anybody else heard about this? or can confirm it to be true? Because im unsure if i should install the service pack again in case it causes the problem over. "There is nothing to do ! I'm in the same case with Millenium and IE6 SP1 ! Microsoft has broken its Internet Explorer IE6 Browser and the Windows Update fonctionality with an automatic update, probably to force the users to migrate to (and pay for) XP SP2 (only public system with a corrective patch) before Vista next year. Much more money for Microsoft !!! " |
