message "click to run an ActiveX control on this webpage"

When I attempt to open a webpage that contains a Quicktime movie, I am stopped by Internet Explorer and asked if I want to run an ActiveX control on the webpage. I click OK and the movie loads as normal. Now, I just updated my PC-cillin Internet Security and switched over to a DSL connection from dial-up. Is it possible that I have changed a setting that is preventing webpages containing Quicktime applications to load properly? By the way, this message will also pop up if I click the Quicktime link on Apple.com's webpage.

Web page authors can also implement changes to their
html code that will prevent the "pop-up" ActiveX
message.

Since my Site has hundreds of QuickTime files I've
chosen to use the javascript method (global to my
pages) and use PAGE
ot to update the page code.
I'm sure there is a Windows workaround tool that
could do the same but I don't create html files on a
Windows computer.

Here is the code I currently use can you show me how to change it to implement the Javascript solution you use. I have multiple quicktime movies on a page.
