Active thing cud be a prob, cos u have disabled it in the settings or the firewalls prevent downloading it.

Regdg spyware or ad I'm sure there arent any on microsoft sites.

@Ashu - Do a hijack log and post it here.

What error do you get when you put www.microsoft.com in the browser?
Not to drift & suggest alternatives but have you tried opening the same site in a different browser?
