Vista - Security problem

Security problem

Hi,

When I click on an advert in Firefox for a trusted website, I am greeted
with the popup box saying "The operation has been cancelled due to
restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator". This is also happening on programs which open other
programs - all of which I give full permission to do.

I never had this problem on XP and do not know how to remove this
restriction on Vista. I am the only user on this computer and hold the
administrator account.

Can anyone please help me remove this annoying restriction.

Nick

Of course I could be wrong because I can't see your computer, but it sounds
like you have some sort of third-party security program running that is
causing this, not Vista. I don't have anything happen like that with my
Vista box and I've not seen that behavior on clients' machines either.
Perhaps you've got something like McAfee Site Advisor or the like? Or a
similar option enabled in your antivirus program? Check.
