The setting I found that keeps Pathfinder/QRZ from displaying the
error message is to disable active scripting. However, that also
kills the maps and some menus in QRZ.com.
Again, QRZ.com is a gutter site allowing paid for ads from Google
to use improper *and potentially dangerous* scripting.

and what they actually do in my Win7Pro OS. (But I do sincerely thank you
for your time and sharing your expertise and information). To resolve this
error notice problem, I think I'll first try to get an answer from QRZ.com.
If they tell me a paid subscription will eliminate the problem I will
probably subscribe ...if the cost is reasonable. Alternatively, I may go
back to buying a HamCall disk and loading their database. Either way, I
don't mind paying a reasonable amount for good QSL path info.
Again, thanks for your excellent contributions to the reflector. 73,

I have no idea what QRZ.com is doing with "paid" subscribers. However,
I have apparently - I won't know without watching for a while - been
able to eliminate the error by increasing the security level. I made
several changes at one time so I don't know specifically which setting
made the difference.
I disabled scripting of Java, disables scripting of Microsoft web
browser control, disabled Meta Refresh, disabled ActiveX controls
marked safe for scripting, disabled ActiveX controls and plug-ins,
and generally disabled ActiveX at every opportunity. Only use will
tell if there are any negative effects but since Pathfinder is the
only think I run that uses IE, it's not impacting my other browsing.

users.... those that pay for a subscription as well as those that use the
limited "free" version?

I gather that the problem is probably a setting in IE. I'd appreciate
it if someone can point me to where this setting can be adjusted. The only way to eliminate the pop-up is to disable all security in IE.
I suspect (but will not try on my system) the setting that is being
triggered is "initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as
safe for scripting" in IE's Internet options | Security Settings but
it may also be "Download unsigned ActiveX controls", "Allow Scriptlets"
or any of several other settings.
The bottom line is that QRZ.com is out of control ... they are serving
non-ham related ads from Google with all kinds of potentially unsafe
garbage.

(Please pardon the OT) I have something similar happening....a web

when I select a spot in SpotCollector and Pathfinder looks it up in
QRZ.com.
I've been unable to find the browser setting that makes this notice come
up
with every new spot I select. I gather that the problem is probably a
setting in IE. I'd appreciate it if someone can point me to where this

Hi
I've been away from Ham radio for months and have returned with my new PC
to
find the same problem.
I have disabled PF in Launcher. After launching everything else from
Launcher I press the PF button and all seems to be okay again. Does this
make sense?

Stop loading Pathfinder<G>. The error is "unsafe" ActiveX being
loaded from Google Ads being served by QRZ.com. Unfortunately, the
IE ad blocker does not work in Pathfinder.
Due to the orgy of non-ham related ads and all of the garbage script
they load QRZ.com is quickly becoming "persona non-grata" on my system
and I only visit it with Firefox where I can safely block *all* of the
ads/scripts/ActiveX.

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.
as a result, the page may not display correctly.
How do I resolve this issue when DXK is started?
