for that, it also liks articles with more info about what it is.
Microsoft installs it silently and in a somewhat hidden fashion, and
their representatives asked to block it for now.
Thanks Robert,
Yes, I do understand Microsoft have many security-flawed components that
are installed to Windows automatically, what I don't understand is why
this has anything to do with Mozilla products? Is it not the case that
(by default) Mozilla simply renders the text sent from the web server
without object instantiation? For example, a default install of Mozilla
does not render Flash or instantiate any ActiveX control...
I also don't understand why the "add-in blocked" message would suddenly
appear today, when I've been using SM 2.0 Beta for over a week...
Does it mean the website I was visiting (www.comprousa.com) was trying
to install an add-in?
In relation to the original flawed Microsoft component (outside of
Mozilla), I seem to remember they already released a patch for it.
