That's a bitch of a problem, because it's the web sites that are being targetted that are improperly configured in terms of security.
Few questions/thoughts - what version of IE are you running? As you pointed out, sbox some of uses IE's hooks, so if IE gets a security error, sbox will throw the same error. Knowing with version of IE you have installed could help.
Also - You mentioned having adjusted settings as per this thread. This thread is pretty long, and the security dialogue error has come up more than once, so if you could specify how/what settings you adjusted that would be helpful. Don't take that the wrong way - not saying you did anything wrong or a liar, just know that I've seen at least two different sets of discussions about how to jack the IE security settings for sbox and want to make sure we know where you're at.
We'll try to help, since this thread is so long people get over-read sometimes, but there's a lot of users here who can and will help you out. Just be patient with us, we're trying the best we can.
peace - gregs.
Hi Gregs - Totally appreciate what your saying......scrapebox almost deserves its own sub forum, this thread is so big!
Anyway, onto my IE; The version is 8.0.7600.16385
Not quite sure how to list my IE settings without this thread doubling in size, but the ONLY ones I have changed are under Security/Custom Settings
The only things are have on PROMPT or DISABLE are as follows;
Allow previous unused active x controls to run without prompting : Disable

I have thought about going through these systamatically, but then again I doubt want my PC to become a phishing slave to some bloke in Uganda!!
Thanks again for all your help.
