pop-up message when IE6.0 is opened

I just installed SpywareBlaster 3.1. I have Windows 98 with IE6.0 installed. If I enable SpywareBlaster - all protection, I get a " mainAutomation server can't create object" message over and over after I start Internet Explorer.
If I disable the protection, the message does not pop up.
Is there a way to stop this message and have the protection?
thanks

 

Yes. I have Windows 98 also. I had the exact same error when using PeoplePC.

1. First, go to your "Protection" tab, then the "Internet Explorer" tab, and uncheck "Prevent the installation of Active-X.....".

If that works, you know your problem is in this list. Recheck the "Prevent" box, then go half way down the Active-X list to "Internet Explorer Exploit (2)" and uncheck that one (it's between "Internet Explorer Exploit" and "BrowserAid Toolbar Variant"). Make sure to hit the "Remove Protection..." button.

If that doesn't work, you know it's here somewhere, so use divide and conquer till you find it.

Good Luck.

 

We will have to find out which one is getting blocked.

Hi stannats,

I am splitting your post off from this thread so it will get more attention. This both cuts down on confusion and adheres to the policy of only one poster with a problem to a thread. You can find your thread HERE.

Per Pieter_Arntz's instructions:

I ran both AdAware and Spybot S&D.
Next I ran HijackThis. The following is what the log showed:
