Excel Pop Up
 

I encounter this message when i open my Excel file and how do i disable this
whenever i open this?

This application is about to intialize ActiveX controls that might be
unsafe. If you trust the source of this document, select Yes and the control
will be initialized using your document settings.

This condition is related to how ActiveX controls are initialized within
Office applications. ActiveX controls are programs and can store data in
either the registry or within the control itself. ActiveX controls are
similar to Visual Basic for Applications macros except they are compiled to a
special file type and can be linked to a data file that can support them (for
instance, Word documents and Excel workbooks). When you receive a file with
an ActiveX control linked to it, the possibility that there may be
"persistent" data (data stored with the control) is unknown; the data could
be malicious - used to plant a virus or to modify your computer with the
intent to do harm. Office applications provide, by default, the ability to
block ActiveX controls from using persisted data. However, if you have
specifically changed the default setting for ActiveX initialization during
the installation process, or by using a policy, the system will perform the
initialization of the ActiveX control based on your custom settings.
If you choose to allow the application to run the control and to allow it to
use persisted data, you do so at your own risk. It is highly recommended to
not run ActiveX controls in documents submitted to you by people you do not
know. However, if you trust the source of the document and the individual or
company who sent it to you, then you can load the control and allow it to use
persisted data. However, this is no guarantee that the data associated with
the control is actually safe to use.
There are limitations to the ability of Office applications to migrate
ActiveX control link references from one format of a document or file to
another format. For instance, you can link an ActiveX control to a Word
document and save that file. However, when you convert that Word document to
another format the link reference to the ActiveX control might not convert
into that file format. Therefore, conversion of files that have links to
ActiveX controls may not be supported for all file types, partly because not
all file types can support ActiveX control linking or activation. For files
with links to ActiveX controls, it is necessary to accept and activate the
ActiveX control prior to converting the file to another file type that
supports ActiveX linking and activation. If the ActiveX control is not
activated, the link reference is dropped from the file and will not appear in
the converted file.
