To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active conten

Everytime I open a web page on Internet Explorer I get a message pop up from the bottom of the page that says: 'To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options.'



Can anyone advise me on how to remove it so it doesn't constantly pop up whenever I open a page? I'm not downloading anything but the page itself. I merely want to view the page properly.

This security update for IE was included in SP2. I believe it's possible to disable, though I haven't tried.



In IE, go to Tools %26gt; Internet Options %26gt; Advanced tab. Check 'Allow active content to run in files on my computer'. Restart IE.



*RESPONSE TO ADDITIONAL DETAILS:



Fiddling with the settings may not have anything to do with it. As I said, this is a security update that was implemented with SP2. If you have recently ran Windows Update, or have Automatic Updates schedules, then this would be what has changed it. Following the instructions I provided above SHOULD help fix the issue.
