I visited this website and a pop up message box appeared. The message was this:

"Click here to run an ActiveX control on this website".

I clicked on it and all I got was another message pop up box saying the same thing. I clicked on that and then the message box didn't come up again, but I saw nothing change on the page.

I have Windows XP.

My question is this: Is ActiveX a program I need to install or is it already on my computer? Or do I need to do some kind of update? If so where would I get that from?

As you can tell I am completely lost here. Any info anyone can give me that will clear this up will be appreciated.
