Heh, Just found freewebs.com in the Restricted Zone under the Security tab of IE6 (XP Home SP1). How or why it got put there I don't know. But removing it from that zone has now allowed me to download mapps new and terrific dinnerware props. After the download finished I checked with AdAware to make sure no unpermitted cookies etc appeared and it found nothing. Nor did SpyBlaster come up with any warnings. So I feel safe 'suggesting' (not guaranteeing ) that freewebs.com could be removed from the Restricted Zone for downloads of mapps' prolific freeware. Igohigh, my eyes are popping out I still can't find anything about activeX scripts blocking or otherwise. Under which tab does it live please? This is bugging me, (no pun) Cheers, masha
