    Hi all, so I turned my PC on today and this came up:

    "One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either: 1) Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page, or 2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls"

    I opened Skype and Chrome just when it popped up. Should I be worried? Could someone clarify what it is? Thanks in advance!

    That's the thing though, I never use IE, always use Chrome.

    but you have IE installed I'd say, or windows defender/mse, so it's going to be there, doesn't matter what browser you are using
