Question

Is Active X surely to start malicious viruses?

Answer 1

yuppppp i installed it one day so i could play a game and within 2 minutes i had a virus that completely shut down my computer.

Answer 2

Active X is one of the main ways malicious software installs it self onto a PC, thats why I use Firefox 3 it does not use Active X and so far have not found any incompatible websites.

So Active X is pointless only the Windows Update site needs it, thats the only reason I still have IE7 installed.
