ActiveX plug-ins are programs made by companies when they need to do something more powerful then just displaying things through your browser.

When you goto a page that contains an ActiveX control, there will be a warning bar that will appear just below the Address Bar. To install the ActiveX control, you need click that waring bar and allow it to be installed.

What you should know about running scripts and ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer
Be cautious about allowing Web sites to run scripts or ActiveX controls on your computer. While these items can enhance Web browsing, they can also be a security risk, and it’s best to avoid using them when you can. However, some Web sites or tasks might require them and you will have to decide whether to trust ActiveX controls that Internet Explorer blocks for your safety.

What are scripts and ActiveX controls?

Scripts, ActiveX controls, and other Web browser add-ons are used extensively on the Internet. They can make browsing more enjoyable by providing toolbars, stock tickers, video, animated content, and more. These programs can, however, malfunction or give you content you don’t want. In some cases, these programs can be used to collect information from your computer in ways you might not approve of, possibly damage data on your computer, install software on your computer without your consent, or allow someone else to control your computer remotely. Given these risks, you should only install these programs if you completely trust the publisher.

What should you do about ActiveX controls and scripts running on your computer?

Use the default security settings in Internet Explorer. These settings will help protect you. If you feel like you need more protection while browsing the Internet, it's OK to increase your browser’s default security settings.

Important

The default security settings in Internet Explorer are designed to help protect your computer from viruses and attacks over the Internet. Microsoft strongly recommends that you leave these security settings at their default level or higher.
