Do you have a firewall? If so, then add the strings "adserve" and "stocksite" into the strings that are blocked by your firewall. I've encountered the same thing in the past and my firewall (Outpost) now blocks them.

Also, FYI, I have active scripting disabled in the Internet Zone, but enabled in the Trusted Zone, allowing me full functionality for sites that I allowed into the TZ.

Finally, you can download and install this little utility from Microsoft. It is, allegedly, for IE 5.x, although I use it on my up-to-date IE 6.x machine (I probably had it in place when I had 5.x, and it remained effective after the upgrade to 6.x. Still, I would install it and give it a try). It adds a couple items to the right-click context menu when using IE: Add to Trusted Sites, Add to Restricted Sites. If you are visiting a site that you want to have the increased functionality of active scripting (and you trust the site), simply right-click and select Add to Trusted Sites. Now, refresh the page. When you're done, do the same and---this time---it will remove the site from the trusted sites and return it to the Internet Zone. It's a very handy function to have.

Good luck.
