Help with unblocking a Web site

[Guest]

Somehow I inadvertently blocked a Web site on my home computer. All mail
from this site has images blocked and most links not working, and I can't
access the Web site in Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Netscape browsers
suddenly. However, if I read my email or try to access the site on another
computer, everything is fine.

I vaguely remember clicking something having to do with the content on this
page being "unsigned," but I haven't been able to find a way to fix the
problem. When I've cleared cookies, history, cache, files, and unchecked all
security everywhere, I sometimes can access the Web site until I close the
browser and re-open it (even with no changes made), but the images and links
are still blocked in my hotmail.

I have searched the Web, searched the Knowledge Base, and I can't locate any
advice I haven't tried already (e.g., trusted sites, etc.).

Can someone help? This is extremely annoying. The site is a favorite
"shopping" site for me!

You've enabled content advisor. Turn it off by opening IE, clickin on tools,
options, content...

If you don't know the password:

Sorry, that's not it. Content advisor is not enabled. But thanks for
trying!

I'm having the same type of problem that wasn't remedied by the content
advisor. I want to get into a secure site and can't from my computer.
Apparently, if you have all of the newest windows downloads you should be
able to go to start, control panel and into the security center icon to turn
things on or off. For some reason (McAffee Security Center???) I don't have
this icon so I can't give you further instructions.

I have the security icon, and I've tried turning off the firewall and
changing settings, but it hasn't helped. If it helps anyone, the site I'm
having trouble with is http://www.mypoints.com and email from them
([email protected]), both of which work fine on all other computers
except this one. I've compared security settings, and I still can't find the
trouble.
