ActiveX Control??

On Certain websites I visit, a message often popped up saying something like ';Click to run ActiveX Control to view this website..'; and I would..however, now a message pops up and says ';Your security settings do not allow Web sites to use ActiveX...'; etc. and the websites are not loading properly. How do I fix this?

Do NOT let any website install ActiveX controls on your computer unless you absolutely trust the site.





ActiveX controls are small programs that can be embedded in applications and webpages. They can contain any code and can do everything a regular program can. Some websites use them to install adware, spyware or other malware on your computer when you visit them.





Anyway, installation of ActiveX controls is disabled by default in internet explorer. To enable it, go to Tools %26gt;%26gt; Internet Settngs. On the Security tab, press the Custom Level button (at the bottom) and find the appropriate setting.ActiveX Control??
You may need to make adjustments to your tools/internet options/ security and privacy settings.


Go to Tools/internet options/security/internet/custom level/Medium or Medium-High(depending on how safe you want to be)/ok/ok .


Then Tools/internet options/security/trusted sites/custom level/low or medium, depending on how much you trust the sites and how safe you want to be/ok/ok ,


Then go to trusted zone and uncheck the require https or secure authentication.


then to make a site a ';Trusted site';, Tools/internet options/security/trusted sites/sites/paste in the url in the box/add/ok/apply/ok.





You might also want to make it an ';allowed'; site: Go to tools/internet options/privacy/sites/paste the url in the box/allow/ok/apply/ok;


then to make it an ';Exempted'; site: tools/internet options/privacy/popup blocker/settings/paste in the url in the box/add/ok.





tools/ internet options/ security / trusted zone / sites/choose add site , (make sure the secure sites only box is not checked), and add the url/hit apply and restart IE .





You might also want to go to: tools/internet options/security/internet/custom level/run ActiveX controls and plugins/prompt or disable(depending on how safe you want to be)/ok/yes/apply/ok.


Tools/Internet Options/Security Tab/Custom Level.. button/Security Settings(Page) scroll down to/Microsoft VM/Java permissions/set to high safety





Tools/Internet Options/security Tab/Custom Level.. button/Security Settings(Page)/ scroll down to/Scripting/Scripting of Java applets/set to ';prompt';.
