Sometimes this will come up if you are running the Active X control or script from your desktop and not the internet. I suggest you see what happens if you run it by navigating to your site via the internet.

Most scripts will not be a problem on the Internet, but some Active X controls will cause the page not to load and put the warning message bar up there. If it shows up when you navigate to your web page, then no, you can't prevent it. This is a safety feature in Internet Explorer to keep us all from getting hacked or having a virus on our computers.

The Active X error is IE specific. IE blocks all Active X controls unless you allow them. You can change that on your computer by changing your security settings to Medium or by clicking the Allow Active X control under the options.

Click the Tools menu at the top of your browser, and select Internet Options.
Click the Security tab at the top of the dialogue box, and set Medium as the Security level for this zone.
Click Custom Level button and ensure that the following are set to Enabled:
Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins
Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting
Scripting
Click OK after these settings are enabled.
Click OK again to save your changes.

However, this will only fix what you are viewing, not what happens to visitors on your website.
