Site advisor won't work

Last week I had to uninstall/re-install Security Centre. Before - I did not have Site Advisor - after re-install SA was there. Ran O.K. for about a week then SA stopped working for no apparent reason.
There is no Green SA Tool Bar showing in IE7 and SA tool Bar not listed in "view".
SA is listed and enabled in IE7 Add Ons.
According to the Security Centre - the component is loaded.
When it was working, I thought it was very usefull - therefore would like to try and get it to work again.
Any ideas as to why it should stop working ?
Thanks for any help.

RE: Site advisor won't work

Have you altered your browser settings in any way? Also try disabling any other browser add-ons one by one to see if they are interfering with it.

Check all the following:

If you are running Internet Explorer 7 go to Tools/Internet Options/Advanced and click the Reset button. OK and exit, close and reopen IE7.
You will have to-enable all the browser add-ons.

If Internet Explorer 6 - go to Tools/Internet Options..
General tab: clear cookies, history and temporary files
Security tab: set all zones to default
Content tab: disable Content Advisor
Advanced tab: set to default. OK and exit.

Site Adviser

Try uninstall and reinstall Site Adviser only.
You will probably get Site Adviser running, but if using Vista, then Windows Defender may not start.
To get Windows Defender to start - start it manually from Microsoft Sevices tool, then make sure that it is set to "automatic".
Both my PCs lost Site Adviser over last weekend.

Site Advisor

Site Adviser should read "Site Advisor".

Right Button - Wrong ToolBar

Thanks for help and advice.
I have now got SiteAdvisor working but it will only appear on the YAHOO toolbar :confused:
Does anybody know if I can move it to the GOOGLE toolbar (which I prefer).
Thanks in advance
