ActiveX killbit vs IE Add-on Disable as protection from defective controls

[Gary Flynn <flynngn () JMU EDU>]

Does anyone know if using the IE 'Manage Add-ons' functionality
to disable an ActiveX control is as effective at preventing an
exploit of a defective control as setting the kill bit? It sure
is a lot easier to explain to end users.
