Hi,

I reinstalled a PC for a friend of mine which was attracting a lot of spyware. After the fresh WinXP install I was fiddling about with his computer security settings.

Somehow, somewhere, I turned on something, and now when I go to Windows Update, IE says ActiveX controls are disabled by admin. Even if I logon as an Administrator IE will refuse to install any ActiveX controls.

Changing the Security to "low" in the Internet Explorer Options doesn't help any.

Can anybody help me as to what settings I may have changed?

Thanks!

You could try XP-Antispy. This has an option to enable/disable activex.
