Dell Studio 1537 Security problems

I recenlty purchased this computer for our family and I hate it!!  I can't get certain websites to come up because I keep getting a message that says my security doesn't allow Active X controls to run.  How can I change the security option to stop this????

Ditch IE, use Firefox - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

ActiveX is a dangerous and badly designed technology, security-wise. Disabling ActiveX restrictions is a good way to get your system compromised by a drive-by malware download.
