Issue: ActiveX Control Ads.

[Weatherman Kiyoshi]

Okay, It's really starting to piss me off.
This has turned from occasionally, to Other other page, to Every Page.

I need the ActiveX Control using Ads to stop.
Isn't there a way to take them off of here?

I don't want to have to close this every time I make a move on the website:

and hear the annoying BLEEP that comes with it.
So, IS there a way to make the ads stop? ...please?

Any computer-illiterate might just install the activex control, though.
I wish them good luck if they do, they'll need it.

Your best bet is to install FF3 and get the 'Ad Block Plus' Addon and subscribe a list relevant to your location. If you dont wanna go to all that trouble then you should set your IE security settings to default. If that doesnt help, just put this site in the trusted sites zone (seriously the ads that are run here wont pull off any drive-by downloads, they're just occasionally annoying) Belive me, I used this site freqently back in my IE days and it never caused a problem.

And you know that how? The ads are not controlled by PC, PC is only able to block ones that prove faulty. So if by chance you get a malicious one, bam, fun's over buddy. :P
So get your facts straight before trying to lure people into false safety just to feel important.

Never accept Active-X objects of any kind on a site you don't trust, and even if you trust PC as a site, the ads do not come from PC itself but from 3rd parties, and you never know what's in the pool.

Actually, as far as the ads go, I've never seen one with malicious code. Anyways, find out which ads are generating the ActiveX warning and report them?
