IE pop up saying " blocked content .... " ??

everytime i go on to IE8 .. underneath the standard toolbars i get a strip pop up saying
"attention .. to help protect your security IE has restricted the webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer . Click here for options "

click .......then box says "allow blocked content".. click then box headed "security warning" asks me if i'm sure ....

clicking that makes it go away.

How do i get rid of this happening ??

thanks

    Set it to always allow blocked content / dangerous scripts etc in security settings .
    You can add in trusted sites to make the blocker a bit less obtrusive .

    to help protect your security IE has restricted the webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer

    Turn off = run scripts and Active X that may take over your computer .

    But be prepared to find a malware full PC one morning .
