Why my IE 6.0 Security settings mucked up?

----------------------------------------...

When any of the websites i go on need to use activeX, especially windows update, i get a yellow information bar telling me that my security settings do not allow websites to access activeX's stored on my computer. When i set my security settings, including cookies, too a lower level its still says the same message. I tried resseting internet explorer settings but that didn't do anything either. Any suggestions to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds as if your firewall settings are blocking those...Try going into preferences of firewall and check the settings
