Hi,
Windows 7 & IE8?

1. Go to Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone, reset to Default Level.

2. While displaying the page in question, go to Tools> Internet Options> Security> Trusted Sites, add the site to Trusted Sites.

3. Some third-party security programs, such as antivirus andsecurity suites, are capable of blocking ActiveX, scripts, other active content. Look through settings/options of any security programs for this feature. Disable it if it's enabled.

Hope this helps,
Don

I'm having the same problem. 

1. Default level doesn't solve. 

2. Site added to Trusted Sites.

3. Avast installed.

I WANT activex blocked BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE NAGGED that it was blocked.  I DO NOT CARE.  Just leave me alone to keep on surfing.

Hi,

If you wish to block most ActiveX controls, you don't want the site(s) in Trusted Sites.
Read through this article and choose your settings:

Internet Explorer Security Settings - ActiveX Controls

First link you gave is an Error 404.

Second link pertains to SP2 and the Information Bar, neither of which applies.  It is not the Information Bar that appears, and I have SP3.  This problem didn't appear until SP3 and IE8 installed.

There has GOT to be a way to turn off the constant notification.  It has nothing to do with the actual security itself, only yelling at me repeatedly as to what it did.  Drives me crazy. 

Nearly every other type of notification has a way to turn it off in the security settings.  Only this one has none.

Install the ActiveX control but leave it disabled?   ; )

Actually I think that rather than the Trusted zone what you may want is the Restricted zone but then you may find that it is too restrictive, e.g. no scripting as well as no ActiveX, etc.


Good luck

Hello.

 

1. Click Start, type Regedit.exe and press {ENTER}

2. Navigate to the following branch:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ Zones
 

3. Under the Zones key, delete the subkey shown with an ASCII character, as in the above graphic. If it doesn’t exist, ignore and proceed to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ Zones \ 0
 

4. Double-click the DWORD value named 1200, and type 0 as its value data.

The DWORD value 1200 corresponds to IE Security Zone setting "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins". Setting the value to 0 permits ActiveX controls and plug-ins.

5. Exit the Registry Editor.

6. Logoff and login back to your account.
