Active X

Have you sometimes visited a site and seen a yellow bar pop up in your browser, telling you that an Active X control wants to install. Like you, I mostly block them, and add the site to my "Un trusted List" :)-

However there are times when you need to install Active X controls, like when you visit Microsoft Update

Recently a "Fix" (If you can call it that) was provided by Microsoft that caused false alerts, for example when a private message was available in our forum, a sound file played (Instead of a pop up) and this triggered the Active X warning. The home page here also played a sound file, in fact its been playing since 1998, this also triggered this warning. (Woof Woof)

Again this site does not install any active X controls, and if you do get a active X warning, on any page, you should let me know, just to make sure that nobody has tampered with anything here.
