avast! does not use Active X.
The need should be into the site you’re visiting. You should think if the Active X is legit or not. avast! will only scan it and if it has a detectable infection, will stop the opening site (if you have WebShield provider of avast! turned on).
Can you post the link to that site (please add some blank spaces in the name to not post a ‘live’ link that could be infected).
Hi ollie carthey,
You could scan the link with Dr. Webs browser plug-in linkchecker (free and only 10 KB install). If this says the link to the site is all OK, obviously come here to report, because we have to look into this. If this link is not safe (red spider, not OK), you know the reason why. You should report the webmaster of the site of an apparent infection,
greets,
