Hi LauraLou, By default Internet Explorer disable running unsigned ActiveX controls. Unsigned activeX controls are programs that try to execute a command on your PC, like CAB install files or a ZIP file which do not have a digital signature. While this is an important security measure on the Internet Explorer browser, if you are sure that the website is a trusted one then you can temporarily disable this security feature to get the website run the required ActiveX and later on re-enable the security.
