    Site works fine for me with Spywareblaster, and I have not tweaked any settings, so advice at present is to delete your temp internet folder and cookies and try again. Also if you have not rebooted do so ( I know you posted this yesterday but some users leave PCs on 24/7, hence this option ).

    You didn't follow the recommendations for active-x settings in the sticky above?
    "how to protect yourself from malware"?

    Halo is an 'Advanced User' so he knows what he's doing with the settings, but I believe he was talking about tweaking settings in SpywareBlaster.

    Please try the advice he gave you.

    You can't fine tune any active-x settings in spywareblaster, it's use their recommendations or not.

    I know how to use SpywareBlaster. And for your information you can enable and disable active-x controls on an individual basis (I think that could be tweaking?). However spywareblaster only targets active-x based spyware so if its a legitimate control it won't even be in their list.

    Have you tried what Halo said ? Are you still having an issue?

    I have and I'm fairly competent with the stuff considering I'm not a "geek" by any means.
    The only way to truly tweak the active-x settings it not through SPB, because it's either use their recommendations or not. (unless if you subscribe to it, there might be a more user control interface).
    I did reset and clean the cache files, but I also went into IE, tools, options, and set up the active-x settings myself.
    Thanks for trying ;)

    You've obviously already tried adding the site to the trusted zone then......
