When I go to the referenced URL, I also get the dialog box. Looking at the site, 
there are two plug-in requests:

An object tag, needing shockwave. When I render the shockwave by itself, using
http://www.rav.uplink.pl/ravbaner8.swf

it works fine, but it does not seem to render on the site (should be located 
just above the black bar on the top right)

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve
rsion=5,0,0,0" WIDTH=250 HEIGHT=75>
   <param NAME=movie VALUE="ravbaner8.swf"> 
   <param NAME=quality VALUE=high> 
   <param NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF>
   <param NAME="wmode" Value="Transparent">
   <embed src="ravbaner8.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=250 HEIGHT=75 
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Vers
ion=ShockwaveFlash"></embed>
</object>

The object tag is in http://www.rav.uplink.pl/top.html file.

The other plug-in is for an applet tag, I cannot get the applet to render when I 
make a local copy. The code is:
 <applet code=diana.class codebase=""
      width=158 height=310 NAME="diana">
<param name=author VALUE="Oliver Blume * [e-mail] * www.icom.de">
<param name=delay value=400> <param name=bgcolor value="0,0,0">
<param name=bgleft value="0,0,0"> <param name=bgright value="0,0,0">
<param name=bgleft_x value=27> <param name=alpha_offset value=1>
<param name=alpha_fg value="255,20,0">
</applet>

the applet is in the http://www.rav.uplink.pl/menu.html file

Neither the applet or the object caused the dialog to render if I displayed the 
pages they are in directly. It only happens when I access the base URL. I didn't 
see anything else on the site that may have caused the problem.

This problem also occurs on http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=pokemon/home ,
but not consistently.

The code that is triggering it is:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
width="225" height="153"><param name="movie"
value="/pokemon/flash/pokemonBanner.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#f8cc00">
<param name="loop" value="true"><embed src="/pokemon/flash/fp_league1.swf"
quality="high" bgcolor="#B1322B" width="225" height="153"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspace="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object>

Sometimes the Flash animation works perfectly fine, while other times, the
plugin downloader plugin message appears, and it does not show.

The plug-ins triage team (av, beppe, peterl, serge and shrir) have reviewed this
issue and have made the following determination:

Tested this on winXP, win2K and macOSX using current builds, marking as wfm.
Shrir will verify on linux
