Hi, all of a sudden I keep getting these windows pop up everytime I open up a window I get do you want to allow ActiveX and plug ins? I don't know what the heck they are but they must be important because they follow me everywhere
Thanks.

Say NO to activex plugin.

Check out the below site and look under "Recommended Minimal Security
Settings" section.

x plugins are a script command and can do whatever to
your system.unless you are at a site and intensionally
are trying to do something you dont need or want
them.What I mean by intensionally doing something is for
example Windows update uses an active x program to scan
your system for updates norton and McAfee uses then for a
online virus scan,in cases like that then you now what
they are for but if its uninvited it is most likely for
ad or spyware and perhaps a backdoor for Trojans.Since
you are getting these prompts your computer is set up to
ask you, which is a good thing.
