Information bar with SP2 - option to turn off?

[Hula Baloo]

I have been very happy with SP2 in general, but find the new
INFORMATION BAR to be rather annoying in some respects. A number of
sites apparently have ads that want me to download the Macromedia Flash
Player 7 which I do NOT wish to download, and really don't want to get
perpetual information bar notices about this. The fact that I get
dozens, if not hundreds, of these daily, leaves me really wanting to
turn these notices OFF. Short of decreasing my security level, which I
really DON'T want to do, I haven't been able to find any way to
eliminate these repetitive, redundant, annoying notices. Does anyone
else know of a way to do this? MS really needs to address this need!
