---------------------------------------------------------

- Description set to new value
  This is a new publically-available update on the Windows Update web site.  This update forces the user to click or press enter in order to activate ActiveX controls.  In our DWF-Viewer-based web pages I see a message asking me to click/press Enter, but after doing that the interaction (which involves JavaScript surround code) isn't working properly - it looks like there's some focus issues.

For reference here's a link to the KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912945/en-us

I looked for an IE security option that would let me disable the prompting, but couldn't find one.

- Developer Notes set to new value
  According to Microsoft there are "techniques that Web developers can use to update their Web pages", so maybe there's a way to prevent the prompt from appearing by modifying our web layout code.

There might also be some fixes to the surround that we can apply to fix the problems.
