Hi

Recently when accessing myspace pages it prompts me saying "click to run ActiveX on this webpage" i click ok and then i get an internet explorer error msg and the closes down IE.

I've tried just click on the 'x' on the pop up box for activeX still doesnt work. Also tried a system restore.

Cheers

Welcome to PCHF NiggZ!

What is the name of the activex controller?

where would i be able to find this.?

In the yellow bar that asks you to install the activex it normally has a name enclosed in quotation marks.

this is wat comes up.

I have edited your screenshot as it contains bad language, next time please check for this:

That looks more like a javascript set to run an activeX even if you clicked the X. It is likely a form of spyware just asking permission to install itself on your computer. Sometimes their is no way around this except to choose Control+Alt+Delete and close it from in there.
Useing Firefox rather than IE often prevents these sorts of things from happening. Plus MySpace is buggy anyway.

If you are worried aobut spyware please follow the PCHF Prework link in my sig and perform and post back here a Hijackthis log and an AVG report.
