Maybe it was in a prior update.
Anyhow, with your directions and assistance both Trend and Panda are now working as they should.
Cheers :)

Yes, I did find that clsid on my 98 machine and after deleting it the TM scan worked as it should.

Thanks again.

You are Welcome Joe....and as said earlier....it is not in Spywareblasters database. I also just downloaded the Spyware Block List File and it's not in there either....but in any case HouseCall is now working on the Win98 machine also ?

@ Fredra,

I looked for 9A9307A0-7DA4-4DAF-B042-5009F29E09E1 in the 2005-8-17 12:40:52 Spyware Block List and that clsid was not there.

You are so correct...thanks. Deleting that entry got it working.
Your assistance is appreciated.

To joepwpb
There seems to be a common denominator with one of your programs and what I used (have since deleted it), and that is Spyware Block List File. I never used it on my other PC, which works well with Trend Micro Online.
Now I have to find the CLSID for Panda...lol
Edit.. found the clsid for Panda {9A9307A0-7DA4-4DAF-B042-5009F29E09E1} and it also had (1024) in the registry. I deleted it and now Panda works.

Again, thanks Bubba.

Cheers :)

Now what? Delete that entry and return to House Call?

Joe P
That is indeed the dword value that disables a ActiveX clsid....and in your case the HouseCall ActiveX control. That entry can be deleted....and you will definetly be one step closer in making HouseCalls ActiveX control work.

Just curious....what programs do you use that might set ActiveX kill-bits....excusing programs such as Spywareblaster or Spybot. Neither of those programs for sure has HouseCalls ActiveX control in their respective databases.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14165803 Thu, 18 Aug 2005 18:48:41 EDT Re: Trend Micro Scan http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14165677 joepwpb : Thanks Bubba....

The little icon in your post # 1 pic tells me you have the ActiveX component already installed and it's either corrupted or somehow the ActiveX kill-bit for HouseCalls clsid was set.

On your Win98 machine....C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files....the HouseCall Control does not say corrupted does it ? You might consider right clicking that control and selecting Update if you haven't already.

If the kill-bit is set....which that icon is usually an indicator of....you could look in the below reg key for HouseCalls ActiveX clsid and if there is an entry it will be 0x00000400(1024) if the kill bit is set.

I get the same message as you do "HouseCall ActiveX component is not ready". The "spyware scan" works fine, but not the virus or security scans.
It works on my other XP SP2 machine...strange.
I gave up trying, however, I get a similiar situation with Panda's ActiveScan....it just keeps trying to load the activeX, so I have had to shut it off after 15 mins..... also strange.
I tried BD, and it works and loads its activeX.
I thought I was the only one having this problem...writing to TM did not give me any tangible results.
I have no answer for you ...

Thanks John!!!

That worked for me but not for CalamityJane. At first I thought I had the same issue as CJ but after almost 1 minute the "Scan" button finally appeared.

The only minor issue with this scan is that it does not give you the option of "what to scan" and since I have several partitions I don't want to scan it takes much longer than need be.

So, I now have two "work arounds" from Trend Micro, one for the Virus Scan and the other for the Spyware scan.

Any ideas as to how I can fix the ActiveX issue?

Thanks again,

The other excellent suggestions here - just keep trying. As you can see many different things can affect what is happening. I had the problem with Win98 and my XPSP1 using the online scanner from Computer Associates! It got fixed when I got SP2 and then the Trend-Micro wouldn't work LOL. (That's when I figured out the disable security warnings thing). Now both sites work for me.

For whatever it's worth, I've used the Trend Micro scan in the past, but for the past few months I've been unable to even get the page to load. It stalls in IE with 16 items remaining to load.

If it were simply an Active X issue, I'd expect a typical message that an Active X applet needs to be installed for the scan to run. Other online scans do in fact give this message if you forget to allow the Active X install.

Now, mysteriously, and rather ironically, while writing this very post, the Trend Micro scanning engine has initiated "Active Update" and has installed. This confirms to me that it is NOT an Active X issue. But why after several unsuccessful months did it choose this very moment to work I wonder?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14161000 Thu, 18 Aug 2005 07:55:07 EDT Re: Trend Micro Scan http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14160951 CalamityJane : Hi Joe :)

I had a problem getting Trend spyware cleaner to run on my XP and figured out what was blocking it:
See this post:
»Re: Trend Micro Anti-Spyware for the Web

Then, I found the problem. XP had the file blocked. I had to go into the file properties and unblock it, to allow it to run.
It was due to this:

Great alternative!!! At least I can get a online virus scan but it would be nice to get the spyware scan. It is odd that that European site does not have the same scanners as the US site.

Perhaps you have your browser set to not run active X? Trend needs to download a small program to your machine to scan.
