I've been trying to install MacAfee from their website and I get the
information bar when I first go to install it and I say to install the
ActiveX and then it pops up the window asking if I want to install the actual
program and I click yes. I then get the window saying I need to click the
information bar, but there isn't an information bar! I've been getting this
everytime I go to use something with ActiveX. MacAfee said to contact
Microsoft because my information bar is damaged, but I can't afford the $35
for a phone call. I'm about to uninstall SP2! Please help!

Erika,

See if this helps:

Thanks for the advice, but this didn't fix it.

See if adding McAfee's site to the Trusted Zone helps.
