2) This challenge occurs due to your Firewall or Anti-Virus settings. It is recommended, that to allow this content to download onto your computer screen that you minimize your security settings on your virus protection software.

 

I have added and deleted some of the window on my screen, and would look to go back to my original settings

It is very easy to go back to your original default settings. The first step is to click on "File" in the top left hand corner. Then go down to where it says "1 SpectrumLiveDefault.wsp"

As soon as you click on this, you will be taken back to your original default settings and you can begin your "Virtual" or "Actual" trading again.
