Yahoo wants to run suspicious add-on
Filed Under (Uncategorized) by Kirby Witmer on 18-08-2006
This morning I went to yahoo.com again to click on the ! some more. 
I love doing that. However, when I opened up yahoo.com in my Internet Explorer 7 Beta it alerts me that…
“This website wants to run the following add-on: ‘TODO: <File Description>’: <Company name> (unverified publisher)’. If you trust the website and the add-on and want to allow it to run, click here….”
What’s going on here??? Is it a valid yahoo add-on?? or is it a IE 7.0 bug??
You know, I get this same message, and only in IE7. I wouldn’t trust anything by an unverified publisher, just to be safe, but if you meet anybody who’s willing to risk it just to see what it is, let me know. You can post a comment on my Xanga somewhere: http://www.xanga.com/heydude378
Hope things work out for you!
did you ever find anything about about this? viewing yahoo mail in IE is growing quite annoying…
Okay…as always happens to me, I found the answer after posting:

Lionel: good question. To disable a control that has accidentally been enabled, the user can indeed use Tools->Manage Add-ons->Enable or Disable Add-ons.
To say “never ask again”, just click on the gold bar and select “Run ActiveX Control”. This doesn’t actually run the ActiveX control right then — it pops up a dialog box that has two buttons: “Run” and “Don’t Run”. Whichever button is pushed, you won’t be asked again. If you *do* want to be asked again, you can click the red “x” to cancel out of that dialog (or go back into Manage Add-ons).
Seems to work!
Hey thanks chris that totally worked
