ActiveX Warning and Yahoo

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi All,

XP Fully Patched, IE 6 Fully Patched.

I have some users who are complaing that IE Information Bar is
displaying the message, "Your security settings do not allow Web sites
to use ActiveX controls installed on your computer".

The machine's browser has been hardened so that Internet Trust is
Medium-Low. But Yahoo is part of Trusted Sites (*.yahoo.com). So I
don't understand why I'm getting the issue. I'm also told the same
happens on MSN.

I _think_ Yahoo may be displaying content from another site (invoking
the warning), but I can't view the page source to verify - Yahoo is
performing a quick redirect through a refresh.

I've performed a cursory search on Google, and gone through a few KB
articles. Any comments?

Thanks,
Jeff
