Me too. And last night I was getting requests to run ActiveX on just about every page I requested. Since I only run ActiveX for known things like .pdf viewing, and never for ads, it was quite annoying to have to click the acknowledgment for virtually every single page. Before that it's only been about one page out of 10.
