A malicious virus seems to be around - a virus that infects websites and urges the user to accept installation of an ActiveX component. We strongly recommend that you never accept this unless you know positively that the website is a trusted website and the component is needed.
Most users today have blocked pop-ups on their browser - MS Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox - and this gives them a warning about scripts that want to start installing things. If you have an antivirus software running you would most likely be warned from it whenever a malicious software is about to enter the computer.
