IE7 is blocking an active X control needed for MS update scan

After I click on the "run" Active X control in the information bar and then
click the "run" button in the new window, I then get a message stating that
Internet Explorer is blocking the running of the Active X control which is
necessary for the Microsoft update scan. I am also getting a message saying
that the Active X control has been previously installed...(but IE is blocking
it's running)

It also is blocking when I attempt to email Microsoft Support on this
problem

It is an unending source of amazement to witness the extent to which people
can distort and/or deny reality in order to attempt satisfying their wants or
what they perceive to be their needs.

Hi,
1. Try clearing the Temporary Internet Files.
2. Delete all cookies or find and delete any/all cookies from microsoft,
MSN, live, hotmail, passport.
3. Add *.microsoft.com to Trusted Sites. Internet Options> Security>
Trusted Sites> Uncheck "Require server verification" and enter the site as
*.microsoft.com
4. Is a third-party security program blocking ActiveX controls?

Hope this helps,
Don
