| Hello! I am having a few problems I was hoping someone could help out

| solving the problem. If I press OK on the box, everything in the
| window on system status, ie auto protect, full system scan, renewal
| date, email scanning ect, turns red and when clicked on prompts me to
| uninstall. I am able to manually update with live update and scan my
| computer from the scan for viruses tab however, and no viruses were
| found. Inside of the error box that pulls up when I open the
| application, there is a link to the symantc website, which I have
| clicked. I offers me a link to run a web tool that may fix the
| problem. When I click this, then click begin, it tells me to click on
| the yellow or blue bar below the address bar to allow the program to
| use ActiveX, but the bar does not appear. I have also visited the
| Microsoft Website hoping to find a security update that for some reason
| did not make it to the computer, but it also asks me to right click a
| blue bar to allow ActiveX access, but no bar appears. I have noticed
| that when visiting a webpage using IE, that any Flash animation does
| not load, and in it's place is a empty window with the tiny RBG icon in
| the upper left hand corner. This Flash problem does not occur while
| using FireFox. I have also tried to use system restore to fix this
| problem, but half of the time when trying to pull it up it does
| nothing, and the other half it presents me with an empty white window.
| I have gone through my system processes one by one and they all seem to
| be legitimate. I certainly appriciate any help I might get with this.
| Thank you!
