internet options being changed on boot
Hello to all. I have just noticed a problem. I tried to access windows
update[from my start menu]the following setting has to be enabled, and got a blank screen instead. I finally went into the Internet optionssecuritycustomactivex controls and plug ins.and noticed that the setting for- run active x controls and plug ins- was disabled. It is set to the default[medium] which means this should be enabled. If I change it to enable and reboot it changes to disable every time. I also cannot select default settings[grayed out] for My Computer,which coincidently has the run active x controls and plug ins enabled I have also noticed that when I would click submit to a reply to a forum,like this, it would warn me that it may be unsafe. I did a virus scan[none] and no spyware spy-bot ad aware asquared all just tracking cookies which were deleted and still have problem. I have uninstalled anything I had installed recently. One that concerns me was Prevex home. I had to uninstall because it slowed me way down. I don't know why It concerns me ,but it does. The other 2 were tune up utilities and regsupreme. I used the registry cleaners to get rid of all traces of NAV +Firewall before installing new one. I also use CCleaner.Tune up utilities was used to optimize my computer,but not to tighten up the security. The registry key for this[1200] is set to 0. all the other security stuff i got has been on for years with no problems. Please try to avoid telling me to reformat and reinstall windows Thanks for any help. Windows xp home, sp2. Etrust antivir +EZ firewal |
