I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop running Vista home basic.
Whenever I startup the computer I get the message: "Some programs have been blocked". When you right click on the message it gives you the option of Run blocked program which is - System Configuration Utility, view blocked programs or exit.
When I click on view blocked programs Window defender opens and the software explorer has a categoy option of:
Startup Programs, Currently Running Programs, Network Programs, or Winsock Service Providers. Each category lists several items with a status of permitted, not yet classified or disabled. The only disabled item is Picture Project Monitor. It seems to be impossible to chane anything since any changes are "grayed out".
I am totally confused on how and what to do to get rid of the Blocked Program.
