ActiveX Errors

ActiveX is Microsoft technology used for developing reusable object oriented software components. ActiveX is not a programming language but sets of rules that guide the way applications run on windows.

ActiveX is a technology that was developed to bring the power of Object Linking and Embedding or OLE as it is popularly known, to empower web browsers and particularly Internet Explorer.

Most people when surfing the web will at some time have seen a prompt to download an activeX control so that their program can load. When the browser loads a web page that has embedded ActiveX components, the browser uses the 'CLASSID' information on the Web page's 'OBJECT' statement to ascertain if the control is already present on your system.

If the user does not have the correct activeX control the browser uses the 'CODEBASE' information to download the control and install it. Once the activeX control is installed in your registry you will be able to run the program.

The majority of all activeX control on the internet are safe but there still are some dodgy ones out there that can load malicious program onto your machine. To be sure that you are not downloading any bad activeX you must first be sure that the site you are downloading from is safe, and that your security level set to Medium or above in Internet Explorer.
