Catfight in the spyware corral

ActiveX is spy ware: At first it was just to make the PC expierence pleasurable and easy for the novice.

Now all ActiveX does is enable Spyware Adware scum to break into your computer and infect it with their garbage ads and tracking programs.

Anyone remember when MS said "signed" ActiveX controls would prevent bad people from doing bad things to your computer??; Posted by: Nullifidian Posted on: 02/09/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
