In recent days, when I sign in to my Chase cc account, I get the following message on the top of the screen:
"The previous webpage might require the following add-on: "Quicktime Scriptable Object" from Apple Computer (unverified publisher). Clikd here to allow it to run."
I don't allow it, and have no trouble with any pages.
Should I allow it and stop that annoying delay and chime every time I go to the Chase website, or not allow it?
Using IE7. :oops:
:thanks:

I don't have IE7 (not meant for Win2k :( ) ... but I think the problem is that that IE 7 will notify you when an Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) control is requested to be run by a page. If you approve the QT Scriptable Object the popup will go away. However, it will also likely cause something else untoward.
Wait for someone with IE7 to advise for certain.

oops; it's "QuickTimeCheck Scriptable Object"
Tried accessing the website in various ways; on another computer, using a link found by Google, sometimes I get the message, sometimes I don't.

QuickTimeCheck.ocx checks for the presence of QuickTime. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/interactivity/qtjavascript.html
Might be an ActiveX setting?

Yes; when I stuck the correct phrase "QuickTimeCHECK" into the Google search, I got a lot of hits that those with IE7 were running in to the same message. Nothing specific regarding "Do it" or "Don't Do It", but I got the impression that everyone was getting it, so I did it. So far, my computer has not blown up and my credit card has not been charged. :blink:
See, this is the kind of stuff that confuses the h--- out of us non-techies. :angrypc:
Thanks for looking in to it. :D

Well, if it's any consolation, everytime I load iTunes or a site with a QT video, I get a message from my security systems that qttask.exe is trying to register to run at startup. If I wanted it to load at startup, I would have configured it that way ... arghhhhh.

Yup! Then there's software like Windows Media Player that thinks just because you are using that software to play a CD that WMP needs access to the internet. I don't want to create a rule saying never because then I'd have to track down that rule and remove it when I want to listen to an online station.
