Error Accessing StatCounter Using IE7

For some reason I can’t access my StatCounter account through IE7. But it works fine if I use FireFox.

Here is the Error…

I have all the latest security updates. I run Windows Defender through XP SP2 also updated recently.

I just downloaded a new Antivirus program, PC Tools AV, which is supposed to be totally compatible with my setup. I am not too pleased at this point with the way it runs (really slow and seems to use too many resources). I am thinking of uninstalling it and finding a new AV.

I’m just curious if anyone else has seen or gotten this error trying to access their StatCounter account. Has anyone else tried the PC Tools AV and run into the same problem?

I will be trying to track this down and let you know if I come up with any answers, either as an Update here or as a New Post if it is pretty involved.

Update: I uninstalled PC Tools and the problem went away. It seems StatCounter and the AV don’t get along too well. Possibly because of the use of Cookies or the constant monitoring of sites or the fact that IE blocks pop-ups already and so does PCT. Personally, I Do Not Recommend using PC Tools with IE7 and/or StatCounter.
