Every once in a while internet explorer will block an ad that appears to be attempting to use an ActiveX control in an unsafe manner. The ad is using Macromedia flash.

It happens to be the Robotech Invasion ad that is a flash ad. Not sure why its doing that now, it never did previously.

The work around is to edit security settings to where "Initialize and script Active X controls not marked as safe" to enabled.

However, it is not advised that you do that because it will open up some of the more significant back doors on your computer and may lead to you having adwear/spywear being installed on your computer.
