internet security levels
I can not change my security levels. every time i try to silde the bar down to low or medium-low it gives me an error message about the recommended level and please changes your setting back to medium or higher. i have tried everything. please help
steve thank you for the reply. yes i am logged in as an adminstrator. yes my macafee is all up to date. i have scaned my computer for spyware and any unwated programs. i have defraged the hard drive. run scan disk. i have even turned macafee security off and then tried to change the security level. i have even turned microsoft firewall off and tried to change the security level. my internet connection is broadband through comcast.
there was a another post similar to my problem over in another forum:

i guess the next step is going to be turing both macafee and microsoft secuity tools off at the same time and then try. but i may have done that already can't remeber. so i will try it again
- not sure if any else has had this same problem? but it is super lame...i put a few web sites in the trusted zone and i still get the prompt to run an active x controls...and then boom IE error message and browser windows close...this problem has totally bummed me out...it has taken all the fun out of getting on the interne and buying a new computert..i am not even going to sketchy web sites... i just to be able to set security levels on my pc...i really don't care what windows recommends...last week i did not have this problem... is there anything that i can do

Are you logged onto an account with Adminstrator priveledges when you try to do this? Are you running Antivirus software with up to date virues defintions? Have you checked your system for spyware with several different antispyware programs and removed all of the spyware found?
