An ActiveX is not safe on sent emails
I just reformatted my system. A friend that I send emails to daily just sent me an email informing me that since my reformat all emails she trys to read from me give her this message: An ActiveX is not safe, Your current security settings prohibits,running unsafe controls on this page. As a result you may not view this page as intended. Is this some problem on my end since the reformat or hers?

GHoffman,
Unless you are sending some very elaborate email, the problem is on her end.
Want to make a hyperlink in your post, want to add a graphic or sound file, need to troubleshoot a non-working Java applet, want to build an attractive signature? These capabilities can be yours if you visit Denny's DellT@lk Tutorials.

I agree with Denny, however, you may need to open the internet properties folder by right clicking the desktop icon and changing your security and advanced options to accept safe active-x. Be careful, however, and practice safe active-x.

Hi GHoffman,
Just to add a bit of doubt to your sense of security about the issue:
I have gotten that ActiveX warning message before I can access the e-mail from one friend. This friend told me that I was getting that message since his computer had some worm called "eye-dog" or something close to that. We determined that my computer did not get it since I have IE5.01 and any recent Windows Update patches.
Not to be paranoid-but, it may be worth checking into that eyedog thing!
Good luck.
Love My Dell !!!

Hi,
Sounds to me like she might have the wscript/kak.htm virus. That is the same message I got when my daughter had the virus. Thank goodness I kept my virus data file up to date.523

Janie,
Yep! That's it...kak.htm
Hopefully your daughter got her computer cleaned up.
