Re: Warning message about ActiveX control

Does this happen when you click on /every/ or /any/ hyperlink? Does it also happen if you click on a hyperlink in, e.g., an email message?

Whenever I click on a hyperlink in IE, I receive the following message:
"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer stopped this site from
installing an ActiveX control on your computer. Click here for
options...."
When I attempt to install the control it turns out to be ocget.dll; if I
then check the install box nothing seems to happen - I get exactly the
same set of messages the next time I open the hyperlink.. I am using IE
6.0, SP-2.

Aside from the message, the hyperlinks appear to open without a problem.
Does anyone know what's going on?
