RE: ActiveX Programs freeze PC

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You are going to these sites to trust them to fix any virus you have. It
follows from that, that you can trust them not to give you a virus. You,
therefore, can afford to drop your security restrictions for running activeX
(for that site)
Add the site to your trusted zone, or if it is not an https: site, drop the
activeX security setting for the Internet Zone to none before going to the
site.
IE, Tools menu, Options, Security tab. Internet Zone icon, Custom Level
button.

Hi Experts;
Running ActiveX programs like http://safety.live.com (OneCare Full Service
Scan) starts the scan for Viruses and Spyware, but only goes to about 6% and
the computer freezes. You can't move the mouse cursor or do a Ctl+Alt+Del.
The computer is completely locked up. I have tried other sites like
Trendmicro (Housecall) with similar results. The computer locks up. I have
tried the sfc /scannow, but this has NOT solved the problem.

Running Windows XP Home Edtion Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.26GHz, 768 MB
RAM, all Microsoft Updates have been done.

How can I solve this freezing problem. Your reply would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks....
