For me it Depends on where that activex is coming from. Since I've moved over to IE4 it
appears that no one can be verifiably, even MS. Maybe its just the way I have mine set up
but I get that message all the time. I have not read or seen others complain so it probably is me.

Let me get back on track here. If I received that message from a site like UT I would not think twice about letting it install, but
on the other hand if I was at Joe Blows site and had no idea who are what is was, NO WAY !!!!
