The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID __{000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}


Hello, everytime I try to sign in on my credit card page on IE and I enter my log in details a little message pop up for 1 second on my screen saying " preparing to install" and nothing ever installs. This message also pop up when I go to my amazon.com page.. but they're mostly random..
I checked the event viewer and I found this error message:

The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
and APPID
