Is dvdtalk using weird activeX all of a sudden?

[joeblow69]

I just have started getting this notice a lot at dvdtalk:
http://webpages.charter.net/solinari/activex.jpg
I always get it on the front forum page, and sometimes other pages as well. As far as I know, I haven't changed any security settings lately.

Im getting a yellow bar at the top that says "To help protect your security, IE stopped this site from installing an ActiveX control over your computer. Click here for options.."

It never did that before.

I'm getting the same thing, and it's only DVD Talk. All my other favorites are clean. Talking about DVDs isn't worth a virus!

This allows multiple pop ups while IE is focused on Active X. If the pop up and get through IE's blocker, what else is getting through?

I'm doing a system check, hopefully someone will send a mass email letting us know this is taken care of.

Strong agreement. Every time I open a new thread that warning pops up.

We were hacked. it should be fixed now. We're looking in to how it was done.
