Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX

[Peter]

Hi

I have uninstalled Flash because I think it s****.

But (almost) every webpage I visit prompts for a new
installation of Flash.

I can the edit my security settings to get rid of
the 'Install Flash Yes/No' message.

But then I get another problem:
"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX"
on almost every page.

What can I do?
There must a way to get rid of those warnings, other than
to change browser or to edit shdoclc.dll.

If there isnt:
OH MY GOD Microsoft! DESIGN ERROR! BIGTIME!
FIX IT Microsoft!

Regards
Peter

First, make sure that your security settings in Internet Explorer
options are set to the default settings. if they are too high, you
will get this error message.

However, here's a tip for all of you who may have been getting the
message despite all the changes you make in the security settings:

I found that it was caused by the "DCOMbobulator" application
available from Steve Gibson at http://grc.com/

That may be a handy app to provide security but it will cause that
error message to be displayed. Took me a while to figure out, so I
hope this will help some others who may have installed it and
forgotten about it.
