Don't trust it
You're forgetting about all those nice little holes that allow escalation of privilege around all of those settings.

"Not marked as safe" means squat. The programmer marks it, nobody else. Whether it *is* safe is a completely different question. There's no independent verification.

Signed means squat. Anybody can get a certificate, saying just about anything they want. I believe simply time stamp signing will also get through the signature check (I've heard it, haven't actually verified it)

You may be OK by disabling ActiveX totally in *all* zones (including My Computer & Intranet), but that could kill help functionality.
