Content Advisor won't stay disabled 1

[JustinEzequiel]

Whenever I open IE a message box pops up saying "Please check your Content Advisor settings for missing information"

In addition, I have to disable the content advisor before I can browse.

I can disable content advisor since I know the password.

However, why won't content advisor remain disabled?

Had no such problems using IE before this week.

SYMPTOMS
When you start Internet Explorer, you may receive the following error message:

Content Advisor
Please check your Content Advisor settings for missing information. Click the Tools menu and then click Internet Options. On the Content tab check the Content Advisor settings.
If you follow the instructions in the error message, you may not be able to disable Content Advisor, or the changes may appear to work but then do not take effect when you restart.


CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the Ratings.pol file is damaged or corrupted.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, create a new Ratings.pol file:

Quit Internet Explorer.

Check your Windows\System folder to see if a Ratings.pol file exists.

NOTE: You must be able to view hidden files to view the Ratings.pol file. To view hidden files in My Computer or Windows Explorer, click Folder Options on the View menu in My Computer or Windows Explorer, click the View tab, click Show All Files, and then click OK.

There may not be a Ratings.pol file in the Windows\System folder. If there is no Ratings.pol file, skip to step 3. If there is a Ratings.pol file, rename it to Ratings.old.

For information about renaming files, click Start, click Help, click the Index tab, type renaming, and then double-click the "Renaming Files" topic.

Start Internet Explorer, click Cancel to close the error message, and then click Internet Options on the Tools menu.

Click the Content tab, and then click Settings in the Content Advisor area.

Type the Supervisor password, and then click OK.

NOTE: If you do not know or have forgotten the Supervisor password, please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for assistance. For information about how to contact Microsoft Product Support Services, please visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Choose the ratings options that meet your needs, and then click OK.

When you restart Internet Explorer, the changes take effect.

I was just reading about the new features in Tweakie 3.0 and remembered this post. One of the features the program fixes, according to the site, is the Content Advisor reenabling itself.

You may want to check it out. I don't represent them in anyway. Just wanted to pass on the info.
