If you just want it to shut off in your browser (bad idea, this is how most spyware is propagating) select Tools->Internet Options->Security->Custom Level, and click Enable for signed and unsigned activeX controls.

If you want to avoid this for your own controls, you need to aquire a code signing certificate [thawte.com] and sign your applets. Search google for code signing for other companies that provide certs.

You will still get popup unless the zone to which your site belogs is classed as Low Risk in IE -- this should not happen for external websites, thankfully, because everyone would have their machines infested with signed components from 3rd parties. Even Microsoft signed binaries will generate a popup, or at least they should.

Signing binaries will give extra credibility, and should increase by one notch security threshold at which people start being told about your control.
