Greetings and Happy 2000!


Can anyone tell me the relationship between ActiveX, Flashplayer and
Shockwave?  The reason I ask is that when denying ActiveX through a
Gauntlet (v4.1) firewall, access to Flashplayer and Shockwave sites is
also disabled.  Am I to assume that they are ActiveX applications?

What are the security implications of allowing ActiveX through the
firewall?  I know it used to be a big no-no, but has it improved enough
over the past few years that it's no longer a risk?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Lyn
