So I have been experimenting with my internet zone settings trying to find a level that doesn't exclude me from all the fun but still offers at least some protection.
This isn't easy - although Javascripting is used for nasty stuff it is also responsible for a lot of the interesting bits on the internet, so disable or prompt both have great disadvantages there I find.
However with regard to ActiveX content it seems that a fair bit of it is non-essential to the workings of the various webpages I use. So I was wondering if it might be possible to construct a resident application that let you approve/disapprove of ActiveX components like Teatimer does for registry changes?
Do ActiveX components have names or other means of identication? So you could say that this ActiveX which appearently does nothing useful I want to block but this other one which is the nifty lookup earlier subjects one like on these boards I want to allow to run. So you wouldn't have to answer yes or no to the prompts all the time?
Best regards, Lasse
