If you are using Internet Explorer, there are many, far too many, settings
found by drilling in under Internet Option in the Tools droplist. In these,
select the Security Tab then highlight Internet Zone (assuming you have
this while at a URL that is external from your private network) and click
on custom settings. I presonally do not allow anything that is unsigned,
anything that seems it may divulge info about my system, and I set most
of the reset to prompt (or disabled). But then I tolerate quite a few
popups about whether to allow activex or script, most of which get
a no reply.
