I am SO ready to KILL my computer. I can't get the settings right to stop those activex warnings from popping up when I am looking at some webpages. Any ideas??

Hey

I think I have the same issue too, does your internet browser disallow access to websites which have scripts or ActiveX to be run and it gives a message that says "Your current security settings cannot allow the website to be shown" or something along those lines? I tried to tweak my security settings under internet options (I use avant) and I set basically EVERYTHING to be enabled. And still I get the same messages. I hope we get some help here. : )

ActiveX can be, and often is, harmful to your computer. Would you rather have the ActiveX automatically downloaded, or automatically stopped?

Either way, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security and click "Custom Level". You can set the ActiveX settings there.

Ermmmmm yeah I been there and messed with those settings and yet I still get this pop up message that reads: To help protect your security, IE has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options...

I want this message to NEVER show it's ugly face again, but no matter how I set those ActiveX settings it still shows up. Is it me??
