How to get rid of ie6 ACTIVEX popup?!

[Tony Mah]

Hello,

I want to totally disable ActiveX
Every ActiveX website I go to give me a MS ie6 system popup which requires
me to click okay.
"Your security settings prohibit running ActiveX controlson this page. As a
result, the page maynot display correctly."

Sounds like the popup is from the web site you are visiting. If you
disable AX in Internet security zone and configure it to prompt you,
well, then you don't get prompted - by IE, that is. If you believe the
site should remain uninformative regarding its requirement that their AX
control be downloaded and installed so their web site will display
correctly (because you believe every user visiting that page will divine
that information when the page doesn't appear fully functional), then
you go right ahead and send a nastygram to the author of that site. You
think they'll really care about one person complaining about their alert
popup rather than to inform their visitors of the behavioral deficiency
if AX is disabled? Is there a reason you don't want to use a popup
blocker to avoid these "informational" popups from whatever are those,
um, "special" web sites you visit?

No, that message is from IE. Tony will have to change his security settings
to allow ActiveX.

So I get it now. ActiveX is the main transportation device for ads and
security hole becuase you really can't turn it off. MS penalizes anyone that
turns it off with a popup.

So if you configure the Internet security zone to disable ActiveX (not
prompt but DISABLE it), Internet Explorer still bust your chops bitching
about ActiveX? Glad other applications don't work that way or I could
never get my work done having to answer prompts from everything in every
program that I've ever disabled.

Funny how there's no more responses to this thread.

I guess the active x pop up is an embarrassment to all the loyal
microsoft supporters and they've got no excuses for Billy's excesses.
