That is beyond my belief. ActiveX has never made a problem for me in my years of using computers on the web.

In internet explorer in the tools drop down, under internet options, on the security tab, push the internet zone button, under that there will be a button for custom level. In the box that comes up, several entries down there is an area for active-x controls. This has a setting for automatic prompt for active-x controls. If this is enabled you will get messages on nearly every page that opens. Definately disable. NOTE THIS: the reason this and other settings were put there was because there have been several very destructive attacks that came in the form of active-x controls. I recently recovered from one such attack. This has not stopped me from using the hundred or so instances of pages calling active-x controls daily, and has not stopped me from downloading the four or so active-x's that are requested every month. I have only been burned once doing it this way. Happy surfing and if you have an unlikely problem with an evil active-x it is most likely that someone here has already had that problem and will be happy to help you solve it without losing your stuff.
