A. Do you know these people?
B. Is it a necessary email?
C. ActiveX can implant/run some nasty stuff on your computer. There
is a reason the security is flagging it.
Personally unless it was something from a work project or the like
that is needed. I'd not activate it. I'd also recommend if they are
friends who sent it, , and its a cutsie forward or unneeded email and
they've checked it out, that they do a couple scans of their
computer. Not on-line scans but update their antivirus signature
files/updates then scan it. And also download something like Malware
Bytes and do a second scan. No one anti-virus gets "all" virus. Do
only have one anti-virus actively running in the background though.
Keep like Malware Bytes as a scan only to catch stuff your main one
might tmiss.
Do a Google Search for "ActiveX viruses danger" and just scroll
through the link summaries there.

Hi there!
I am getting the following kind of warning message when I'm opening
email message from few individuals not from everyone.
How do I stop the message?do I have to tell to the sender to fix or
correct things from their side?
The following message is only showing from couple of email senders.
Error message starts here:
Windows Internet Explorer
One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either:
1) Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls
on this page, or
2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.
As a result, the page might not display correctly.
OK
