I have the exact same problem. I followed the sites recommendation to add a
whole bunch of websites names (MSN.com, etc) to my trusted sites profile but
still no success in opening my Portfolio.

I never could get it to work even after I deleted and added the tool box. It
has to do with the protected mode my computer is running in. If I take off
the protected mode then I will get the portfolio but then my hotmail.com
would not work. I decided instead of switching between protected and
unprotected I would give up using money central portfolio, I have other
programs that work for that. Sorry I could not help.
