The information in this Help topic applies to Windows Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Internet Explorer 8.
Active content is interactive or animated content used on websites. It includes ActiveX controls and web browser add-ons, which are small programs that are used extensively on the Internet. Active content can make web browsing more enjoyable by providing toolbars, stock tickers, video, animated content, and more.
Why does Internet Explorer restrict active content?
Internet Explorer restricts this content because occasionally these programs can malfunction or give you content you don't want. In some cases, these programs can be used to collect information about you, damage information on your computer, install software without your consent, or allow someone else to control your computer remotely. Given these risks, you should only allow active content if you completely trust the publisher or the website it's coming from.
How can I allow active content?
If Internet Explorer restricts active content that you are sure you want to allow, click the Information bar, and then click Allow blocked content.
