In-Depth Information
ActiveX also presents an unacceptably high security risk to any user
security has gotten better, it is ridiculously easy to penetrate and dam-
age a computer running a browser that allows ActiveX applets to be ex-
ecuted. In fact, all the popular browsers, Internet Explorer included, let
users explicitly block ActiveX applets. For this reason, we cannot recom-
mend ActiveX as a viable applet implementation technology and we go
so far as to recommend that users disable ActiveX capability within their
browsers.
