Question about Internet Explorer and Active X components

Sirotnikov · June 29, 2003, 20:03

Israeli websites are somehow more advanced and sneaky than american websites, and all have tons of huge interrupting and unpolite FLASH banners, which most american websites don't use yet.

To block them, I've tried everything from abusing my previous firewall ad-blocker to installing a new one.

I've decided now on the simple way out - to make internet explorer "prompt" me every time it encounters an active X object.

But that is quite annoying. And not only is it annoying, it is also annoying that for each time it asks me to allow an active X, and I answer [No], there is an alert saying something like:

"Attention: Your security specifications have denied this site from using Active X components. This may cause the site to disfunction".

And it says so each and every time it encounters a FLASH ad. That means at least once or twice per page.

THAT IS FREAKING ANNOYING.

I can deal with the questions, which are a must. How can I make the alert go away?

I got the same problem with Greek websites.

Just set axtive X objects to off permanently. Turn them to promt on sites that you want to use active x objects with, or put those sites on your trusted list.

That, or use opera.

I tried that.

But then I still get the "Attention: This site is hapmered by your settings" each time it meets a FLASH ad.

Sirotnikov · June 29, 2003, 21:08

Opera is nice. I love it.

However, I'm not really going to use it.

Ecthy · June 29, 2003, 21:10

Flash is evil!

Only slightly less so than ActiveX.

Use Mozilla to solve your problem.

Have you tried Mozilla? Does it work right?

Az · June 30, 2003, 06:06

No, Actually.

. Maybe when I'll be back from the swimming pool.

Cheers!

Ecthy · June 30, 2003, 06:12

you have a swimming pool? rich bastard

Mozilla works great. I use it for mail. Never got a single worm or virus.

However, It's too bulky and I know that I have all the components of microsoft explorer sitting in my memory anyway, eating up 20 MB. I might as well employ them.

I know I'm giving up... but what do you want?

In what way is Flash advanced?

SVG is advanced. Flash is decadent.
