It's not addons that you need to change, it's your security settings.

Click tools/Internet Options options
Click on the Security tag
Click on Internet (in the zones bit)
Set level to Medium High

If you use Firefox or Opera as your default browser, go to http://www.windizupdate.com/ and get them from there.
