Microsoft Baseline Security Analyser (MBSA)

IE Security Settings: Is it possible to do this?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I have Microsoft Baseline Security Analyser 1.2.1 installed on my system (XP Home Edition SP2) and now I can't access it at all!! I navigate to the executable/utility and immediately receive the MS Internet Explorer popup console: Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly.

It then shows/displays two popups with stuff about errors on line 49 and line 17 and then directs me to/displays a link to the MS XML page!!

I have d/l'd the most recent MSXML Parser/SDK 4.0 SP2 (I think correctly/successfully!??) - so, my question is:

Is it possible to ADD the MBSA to my Internet Security TRUSTED zone?? I'm thinking/hoping this might solve the glitch/problem??

Any advice/tips/assistance out there?? Any and all help will be much appreciated.


Thanks.

 

Thanks, ARIE.

Did as you suggested and enabled/checked "Allow active content to run in files on my computer" via Start/Control Panel/Internet Options/Advanced/Security. Went directly to my MBSA proggie/utility and the same old, same old result!!

Need I have rebooted for the 'change'/reconfig to have taken place/be accepted by the system??

Thanks for your help.

 

Maybe you need the latest version

I had a similar difficulty and fixed it with a later version - I'm using 1.2.4013.0
