When I go to certain websites, including this one the following msg pops up.What can I do to make it go away?

This page provides potentially unsafe information to an Active X control. Your current security settings prohibit running controls in this manner. As a result, this page may not display correctly.

it means that your security settings for Internet Explorer are set too high for the Active X scripts on that web page. Active X is like tiny programs that the web page is allowed to run in you browser, most likely for ads or page effects.

As long as the page loads fine you can ignore it, if you want to get rid of those warnings, you can adjust your IE internet security settings (reset it to default or medium-high)

It sounds like nothing serious then! Thanks Robyrob

I've been getting that too recently... long after I changed my security settings.
