ActiveX safety errors resulting from Other Forum ads
 

All the banner ads at the top are resulting in a dialog box coming onto my screen about an activeX control on this page not being safe and that my security settings are keeping the ad from being displayed.

I'm using Win NT 4.0 at work and I've never had this error in the past.

FYI.

I get that occasionally in Other only. It has to do with your IE ActiveX settings being set that you are asked whether you want to run ActiveX controls. It's a real good idea to either ask for that confirmation (so you can read pdf files, etc.), or just tell IE not to run them (in which case you won't get the prompt).

Today, in addition to getting the request to run ActiveX (which I always reject), I am getting the security setting message too.
