That is why I asked if it worked with other browsers as avast should work in the same way for all browsers.

Unfortunately there is no specific setting to allow disqus as such (that isn’t set) or it wouldn’t work on any browser.

I don’t use IE to browse and on this XP Pro system I only have IE8 and on my win7 system I have IE10 so I can’t really test anything. I can connect to the news.blogs.cnn.com using IE8, but it wants to install activeX for flash player. I don’t know if IE9 might have additional security settings/measures to block this and subsequently the page/s.

The activeX incorporated in IE is a major reason I don’t use it as activeX is a big target for malware exploits/writers.

If you can post some URLs used to get to these functions hopefully someone with IE9 can try.
