Default disabling/removing active x warning


whenever,I open a office 2003 documents,an annoying warning noted below appears.

"This application nis about to initiate active x control that might be unsafe..."

on clicking either ok or cancel,the documents opens.

how to get rid of this annoyance.

I am using a preloaded windows 7 in my new notebook.

I am not using Norton.

I use K7 antivirus.

I could not find any similar settings in K7.

My notebook originally came with a preinstalled trial version of norton.

However,I have uninstalled the same after the trial version and installed the paid K7.

I hadc checked tools>security>Macrosecurity as suggested by you and found nothing.

the problem is there everytime I open a word document from my system or from the net.
