Isn't most every ActiveX control a vulnerability? I realize that some
of them are useful, and that in a "kinder" and "gentler" world they
might well be very useful for everyone. Lately though, I've been
thinging that it isn't all that smart to have something downloaded to
your computer that gives someone else control of parts of it. On the
other hand, I don't even have to do it and it ends up being lucrative
for me. Imagine that, other people are causing trouble all over the
internet and here I get paid to straighten it out for a few. Maybe
it's my good looks. Naw, must be because I work so cheap.
