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.

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?
