Sounds like the popup is from the web site you are visiting. If you
disable AX in Internet security zone and configure it to prompt you,
well, then you don't get prompted - by IE, that is. If you believe the
site should remain uninformative regarding its requirement that their AX
control be downloaded and installed so their web site will display
correctly (because you believe every user visiting that page will divine
that information when the page doesn't appear fully functional), then
you go right ahead and send a nastygram to the author of that site. You
think they'll really care about one person complaining about their alert
popup rather than to inform their visitors of the behavioral deficiency
if AX is disabled? Is there a reason you don't want to use a popup
blocker to avoid these "informational" popups from whatever are those,
um, "special" web sites you visit?
