There is no such icon. Here are the specifics....

The message I get is as follows:

"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has
restricted this file from showing active content that
could access your computer. Click here for options"

The options presented are: "Allow Blocked
Content", "What's the Risk" and "Information Bar Help".

If I select "Allow Blocked Content", I am presented with
a sermon on Active content and asked if I want to
proceed, yes or no.
