"This application nis about to initiate active x control that might be unsafe..."

on clicking either ok or cancel,the documents opens.

I am not using Norton.

I use K7 antivirus.

I could not find any similar settings in K7.

does it happen with each and every document?

M

it happens,while opening any word document always.

then it might be a virus. not every file has activeX content. what browser do you use? internet explorer?

@OP by any chance earlier u installed Norton & removed it then u have to disable that addon manually from word & excel in TOOLS>Options>Security>MacroSecurity find the norton plugin & disable/remove

My notebook originally came with a preinstalled trial version of norton.

However,I have uninstalled the same after the trial version and installed the paid K7.

I hadc checked tools>security>Macrosecurity as suggested by you and found nothing.

the problem is there everytime I open a word document from my system or from the net.

it has not helped to remove the warning.

Got to security, level, set it to minimal.

the security level at tools-options-macro security is set to low only.

or do you suggest the setting anywhere else?
