ActiveX and plug ins.

[Guest]

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.

Settings" section.

As Venkatesh and Nancy Reagan said "just say no" Active

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.
