For a few days I was having trouble with IE loading slowly, and having problems connecting. I suspected that it was a result of following instructions as to how to secure IE. I could not even get to Kaspersky's on-line scan. I went into IE, and reduced ActiveX and Script blocking more that recommended, but now I can update Windows, and get to the sites I want. Also, IE now works at the speed that it used to.

I do not use IE except for sites that require it. Normally I use FF or Opera. Why do some sites, such as Kaspersky's scanner require Active X and such when it is supposed to be vulnerable to malware? A few AV sites do not, but more seem to. Why can't all be accessed without Active X?? I must add that if IE is strapped to the degree that it won't work, that is counterproductive.

Thanks, Jerry. JerryM Lowering the activeX settings was not the answer.but a mistake. Internet Explorer has 'ZONES'..Intranet. Trusted Sites.Internet, and Restricted..plus one hidden Zone.. If you are having problems entering a 'trusted website' that you know is safe..simply place it in the Trusted Zone an tweak the activeX settings in that Zone to your needs... You should never experience problems such as you mentioned.in fact, by lowering your activeX settings as you did Opens your computer to viruses, trojans, and Hackers.. Set you Zones correctly and use them accordingly.Your banking website could go in the Trusted Zone..a website like lets say google could go in the Restricted Zone,, etc,,, The reason for 'ZONES' is for your protection.many bad websites use activeX..an yes some so-called good websites use activeX as well.this is the poor choice of the webmaster..many people believe that all webmasters know how to program.an this is surely not the case.any body can set up a website these days an know very little about Programing..thats why you need to use the ZONES in Internet Explorer..SeeYa.

Click to expand.I realize that what you say is correct. However, I put them in the Trusted Zone, and that did not correct the problem.

Also it is one thing to say to set them correctly, and to tweak the settings, but nothing I could figure made IE work. I only use IE to go to Windows update, and to go to such sites as the Kaspersky on-line scan. I am not very knowledgeable in this area, but I fail to see how I can get infected on the Windows Update or the Kaspersky site. Is the liklihood more theoretical than real on those sites? If I were to go to Wilder's how would I get infected, again considering that I do not browse with IE? Thanks, Jerry.

Sorry if I seemed to reject your help. That is not my intent, but what I need is more specific advice as to how to set IE activeX and scripts.

Spyware blaster will change the settings to a secure zone, but then IE is not usable. I do wonder how I would get infected going to known safe sites such as Wilders, for example, or Windows Update. Evidently there are settings that are secure, but must be modified when one goes to a site that is known safe, and which must have scripts and ActiveX enabled. That is what I do not know how to do. Thanks for the interest, and there was no intent to just reject your suggestions and comments, but I need more specifics as to the settings for IE if I am to change to a safer level.

I have experienced this on both my desktop and notebook systems. I made the post to express my dismay at the problem of security and usefulness of IE with my level of expertise. Have a good evening, Jerry. JERRY SAID: *** Spyware blaster will change the settings to a secure zone, but then IE is not usable. *** _____________________________________________________________ Jerry Ok friend.now you are geeting into the problem..Friend spywareBlaster OFFERS PROTECTION FROM KNOWN BAD WEBSITES, ETC.if its keeping you out of a website its most likely saving your computer., howeverm you have a choice to disable the protection spywareblaster offers.an if you start doing that.whats the point in using spywareblaster..not much sense in disabling its protection. So, this is one cause of your problems.but its not preventing you access to windows update or Kav update.thats for sure.!!!

___________________________ So, seems you want to surf.but don't enjoy being prevented from entering known dangerous websites..can't help you there jerry. Snowman, Thanks for the help.

I must correct one assumption, that I want to surf with IE. That is not the case. I never surf with it.

I only use it for sites that require IE, and those that I can think of are the Windows Update, and some on-line scanners. ALL surfing is done with FF and Opera. Anyway, thanks, and if it gets down to it, I can use IE at lower security settings than those who surf with it. If I only use it for sites such as those mentioned, then the security is low anyway for those sites. I do intend to work with it to see if I can get it to do what I want in the area of safe sites. I have had such settings for a long time, but recently I think what I have read about tweaking IE has set the security too high. Sorry that you will not be here much longer.

Many thanks to you both. I went to the site mentioned and changed some settings. I think they are probably in line with your Snowman, but I'll double check. After every few changes I would go to Kaspersky, and see it it worked.

I was able to make all the changes, and everything is working OK. As I said, I never use it for surfing. In addition I NEVER visit high risk sites, such as porn or wrestling, or gaming, P2P, or music. I think the problem is fixed now, and again thank you for the help.
